Tommy Lee Jones is suing Paramount Pictures, the makers of “No Country for Old Men” for more than $10 million dollars. The Oscar-winning actor claims he is owed for starring in the 2007 hit crime thriller. Jones, who played Sheriff Ed Tom Bell in the film, claims he was not paid promised bonuses and had expenses wrongly deducted. The suit says Jones was paid a reduced upfront fee in joining the film, and that his contract had known errors not corrected before the movie was made.
Jones, is asking that an auditor be named to review financial records to determine how much he should be paid. Jones allegedly 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.
