LONDON – Hollywood actress Eva Green, who is suing financiers for her fee for a failed film in which she was to star, told a London court on Monday she would not make a career-ending "B movie" that she said was cutting corners in stunt safety and crew pay.
Giving evidence at the High Court in London, Green, 42, said she had become concerned the film's production team had been cutting corners, citing how her stunt training had been reduced from four weeks to five days. They cited WhatsApp messages from Green in which she described one producer as a "f***ing moron" who should be fired and another as "evil".
Green, whose lawyers say has never breached a contract or missed a day's shooting in her 20 year career, said she could have ensured a quality film by getting a strong core crew but the producers had not wanted to pay standard industry rates.
