Eva Green has said she ‘fell deeply in love’ with a shuttered film project at the centre of her High Court battle with a production company.
The Casino Royale star, 42, was due to play the lead role of soldier Kate Jones in A Patriot, but the production collapsed in October 2019 and she is now, claiming she is still entitled to her $1 million fee for the abandoned project.
Green, who will finish giving evidence on Tuesday ahead of a ruling at a later date, added that she ‘fell deeply in love’ with the role and the ‘message of the film’, noting that abandoning the project would feel ‘like abandoning my baby’. The barrister said that in WhatsApp exchanges with her agent and the film’s director, Green claimed Seal was planning to make a ‘cheap B movie’, describing him as ‘the devil’ and ‘evil’.
She explained: ‘I never wanted this to be a B-movie but I realised more towards the end that it was going to happen.’ She felt ‘deceived’, adding: ‘I was very upset and angry that I had been misled about the financial state of the production and would have preferred that the production remain in Ireland, but I did not want to withdraw from the film and was prepared to consent to the move as required by the contract.
