Judge Gene rules that Jones owes theater goers more than that for the bullshit ending of that movie.
SAN ANTONIO - 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.
Tommy Lee Jones starred as Sheriff Bell in the 2007 thriller 'No Country for Old Men.' The actor is suing the makers of the film, saying he was promised "significant box-office bonuses" for the Oscar-winning movie.
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.
The movie, which is set in Texas and based on a critically acclaimed Cormac McCarthy novel, garnered four Academy Awards, including "Best Picture."
A message left for Paramount Pictures on Saturday was not immediately returned. Jones declined to comment through his publicist, Jennifer Allen, the San Antonio Express-News reported.
"The paperwork stands for itself," Allen said.
