Tommy Lee Jones Sues Over 'No Country'

by: Steve Palopoli

Actor Tommy Lee Jones has filed a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures and its subsidiary involved in the production of No Country for Old Men, according to an AP story published in Variety. Jones' lawsuit alleges that he was promised "significant box-office bonuses" to compensate for a reduced upfront fee for his appearance in the film. While the Oscar winner was a hit, making over $160 million, Jones hasn't received a penny. He wants an auditor to review financial records and decide how much he is owed, and anticipates it will be over $10 million.—Movietimes.com Movie News Bureau
