Eva Green discussed rash excuse to avoid making film, court told

WhatsApp messages disclosed showing actor discussed pretending she had been hospitalised

Eva Green was so concerned she would have to make what she had described as a career-wrecking B-movie that she discussed pretending she had been hospitalised in order to avoid turning up, a court has heard.

New detail of Green's antipathy towards a failed multimillion-pound sci-fi film, A Patriot, at the centre of a legal battle between her and a production company emerged in freshly disclosed WhatsApp messages from the actor.
