Eva Green arrives in court for legal action against White Lantern Films

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.
