Costner sues film company
From Associated Press
Kevin Costner has sued Ascendant Pictures, claiming the company broke an oral agreement to pay him $8 million to act in the romantic comedy “Taming Ben Taylor.”
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in L.A. Superior Court, alleges that Costner and Ascendant agreed in December 2004 on pay and movie royalties. The Beverly Hills company then pulled out of the agreement in June, according to the lawsuit, and the movie was never made.
Representatives for Ascendant Pictures could not be reached for comment.
