Jones suing for 'Old Men' bonuses
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 7 (UPI) -- Actor Tommy Lee Jones alleges
in a Los Angeles lawsuit that Paramount Pictures reneged on promised
bonuses for his role in "No Country for Old Men."
In his suit, Jones alleges the studio paid him a reduced
monetary fee to play Sheriff Ed Tom Bell in "Old Men" with the added
promise he would later receive bonuses based on the film's box
office success, TMZ.com reports.
Jones alleges he has yet to receive those financial bonuses
for the 2007 film, which won an Academy Award for best picture.
The suit seeks $10 million from Paramount, which has yet to
comment on the litigation, TMZ.com said.
