Tommy Lee Jones Is Suing Mad

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

Tommy Lee Jones is suing the producers of No Country for Old Men for more than $10M he claims he is owed.

The lawsuit against Paramount Pictures claims that Jones was promised “significant box-office bonuses” and other compensation depending on the success of the film, which went on to make more than $160 million. Tommy Lee claims he was not paid promised bonuses and had expenses wrongly deducted. The suit says he was paid a reduced upfront fee in joining the film, and that his contract had known errors not corrected before the movie was made.
