LONDON (AP) — Eva Green was awarded $1 million Friday by a British court in her dispute over the collapse of a project she feared was destined to become a “B movie” that could ruin her career. A High Court judge ruled in favor of the French actor in her lawsuit against the producers of “A Patriot,” a sci-fi thriller that collapsed in 2019. England-based film production company White Lantern Film countersued, portraying Green during a January trial as a diva who made “excessive creative and financial demands” and torpedoed the production.
