She didn't want to be in "a crappy B-movie" to protect her career. Eva Green nevertheless finds herself in dirty sheets after filing a complaint against the production of the feature film A Patriot, a "dystopian" science fiction film abandoned in 2019. The actress having signed a contract guaranteeing her emoluments whether the project succeeds or not, she claims them. The sum is round: a million dollars. However, during the final arguments at the High Court in London, the tide did not seem to turn in his favour.



The opposing party's lawyer has indeed revealed a new series of WhatsApp exchanges between the actress and her agent that would show his bad faith.

Eva Green would have tried to pretend to be sick: the situation related to the film stressed her so much that she would have developed a rash that would have even forced her to hospitalize. This is, in any case, what she proposes as an excuse to her agent to get out of the project, in September 2019, according to the lawyer of the production company.

No arms...

"Could we say that this situation made me sick over the weekend? We could say I had to go to the hospital because I had a severe rash all over my body? " she wrote to her agent, according to The Guardian. The daughter of French actress Marlene Jobert has even suggested seeing with a doctor.

White Lantern's lawyer also added in her conclusions that she "seemed to be considering faking a broken arm" to avoid filming. So many revelations that show, for the production, his desire not to ensure the shooting, which is a breach of contract, and which is added to other unsympathetic remarks against the technical team.

In previous text messages from the star, the film's producer and his colleague were called "pure vomit" and "fucking moron" respectively. She had also expressed an opinion that could harm her to the Hampshire public.

"Peasants"

The move of the production from Ireland to this region of the United Kingdom had provoked from the Franco-British actress an unkind reaction (always in writing). She didn't want to be "forced to take the shitty Hampshire peasant team members." Eva Green refused to perform at the Black Hangar, a local studio owned by Jake Seal, the project's lead producer.

The actress' legal team argued that she wanted to work with a "quality" team paid at the regulatory rate. They also accused the producers of wanting to "damage the reputation" of their client, who "did not violate a contract or miss a day of filming during a twenty-year career", by publishing these WhatsApp exchanges.

Judgment will be rendered on an unspecified date.
