Green, 42, appeared in court in January to say she had become concerned the film’s production team had been cutting corners, citing how her stunt training had been reduced from four weeks to five days.

White Lantern’s lawyers said Green, also an executive producer on the project, had made unreasonable demands about crew, locations and equipment. They cited WhatsApp messages from Green in which she described a producer as a “f*cking moron” who should be fired and another as “evil.” She described funders of the movie as “arseholes” and some proposed crew members as “shitty peasants.”

But the judge said that, while Green “may have said some extremely unpleasant things” about the film’s producer and crew, “this was born from a genuine feeling of concern that any film…would be of very low quality.” “I fought tooth and nail to defend the beautiful film that I loved and had signed on for,” Green said in a statement. “A film that spoke of a cause I hold dear—climate change—and warned of the resource wars and mass migration that would occur if we don’t address the problem.”White Lantern Films and SMC Specialty Finance said in a statement: “We are naturally disappointed by today’s judgment and the court’s findings.
