Actor Sean Connery sued producer Peter Guber and his Mandalay Pictures in Los Angeles County Superior Court over the unraveling this year of the CIA thriller “End Game.”
Connery alleged that Mandalay was “nothing more than a house of cards,” using the film project to mask a precarious financial situation. The actor said Mandalay agreed to pay him $17 million for the role but lacked funding to make the film because its German financing dried up.
A spokeswoman for Mandalay declined to comment.
