Eva Green wins high court battle over collapse of sci-fi film

Actor wins legal case against producers, with judge ruling she is entitled to million-dollar fee

Eva Green has welcomed her victory over what she described as a group of men who tried to use her as a scapegoat, after winning a bruising legal battle over the collapse of a sci-fi film.

The actor had sued White Lantern Films and SMC Speciality finance for a $1m (802,000) fee that she said she was owed. However, she faced a counter-claim alleging she pulled out of the making of A Patriot, which collapsed in 2019, and breached her contract.
