Actor Lee Jones sues Paramount Pictures

LOS ANGELES:

Tommy Lee Jones is suing the makers of No Country for Old Men for more than $10 million that the Oscar-winning actor claims he is owed for starring in the 2007 hit crime thriller.

The lawsuit against Paramount Pictures claims that Jones was promised “significant box-office bonuses” and other compensation depending on the success of the film, which went on

to make more than $160 million.

Jones, 61, is asking that an auditor be named to review financial records to determine how much he should be paid.
