Eva Green wins 'painful and damaging' High Court battle over abandoned film

Eva Green has won her High Court battle with a production company over the collapse of a sci-fi film.

White Lantern Film and lender SMC Speciality Finance brought a counterclaim against Ms Green, alleging she undermined the independent film’s production and renounced the contract. She continued: ‘In this legal action I was forced to stand up to a small group of men, funded by deep financial resources, who tried to use me as a scapegoat to cover up their own mistakes.

She said: ‘As a result of this case, the cat’s well and truly out of the bag that I am mildly terrified of public speaking, that I don’t understand technical financial structures, that I am fragile in the face of aggression, that I’m passionate about my work and that my heart breaks when people are unkind.‘I’m also the kind of person who escapes through the back door at parties and is happiest at home alone with my dogs.

‘I wish I could say that this ordeal has made me stronger, better, wiser. But to have my personal life dragged through the press and the court was more painful and damaging than I can say,’ she said. During two days of cross examination, she told the judge that she had a ‘very direct way of saying things’, while she also said she was not called to the studio for either rehearsals or stunt training.
