Eva Green, a French actress known for ‘Casino Royale’ and ‘Penny Dreadful’, was awarded $1 million Friday by a British court after a legal fight with film financiers over a “B-shitty-movie” she feared would harm her career.
said that while the actor “may have said some extremely unpleasant things” about producers and crew members, “this was born from a genuine feeling of concern” that the project “would be of very low quality.” He concluded that Green “did not renounce her obligations under the artist agreement; nor did she commit any repudiatory breaches of it.” The counterclaim was dismissed.
The judge described the actor as “in some senses a frustrating and unsatisfactory witness” and said that while he could “understand the torment it must have been for her to have all her private texts and WhatsApp messages revealed in open court and scrutinized. . . some of her explanations for the language she used and the feelings she expressed—such as they were down to her ‘Frenchness’—were not credible or adequate.
And, yet. “I have to say that, having heard him give evidence, I can see how it might be possible to take an instant dislike to him,” the judge. “He was at times patronizing, sarcastic and denigrating. I found him to have an innate aggression and can understand why Ms. Green and others might have been displeased to be told that they had to make the film under his full control.
The 42-year-old also reacted to criticism of her during the legal battle. “There are few things the media enjoys more than tearing a woman to pieces,” Green said. “It felt like being set upon by hounds; I found myself misrepresented, quoted out of context, and my desire to make the best possible film was made to look like female hysteria. It was cruel and it was untrue.”
