Actress Eva Green arrived at the High Court on Monday for a showdown with producers over a doomed sci-fi film project, amid claims she had wrecked the production with diva behaviour and “would rather eat tumours” than make the movie.
The Hollywood star is at loggerheads with the financiers of dystopian thriller A Patriot, which collapsed in 2019 after a troubled period of pre-production.
Green, the star of Bond film Casino Royale, is suing the production company for payment of her fee but faces accusations she deliberately wrecked the shoot once it became clear the budget was lower than expected and production values would be compromised.
