Former Bond girl Eva Green is being unfairly "painted as a diva" in a legal battle over a million-pound fee for a failed sci-fi film, the High Court has heard.

The Casino Royale star, 42, is accused of making “excessive creative and financial demands” and having expectations that were “incompatible” with the budget of the £4 million film A Patriot, that was shut down in October 2019.

She is suing production company White Lantern Films, claiming she is entitled to her fee for the abandoned film, despite its cancellation. The company claims Ms Green showed “vitriolic aversion” to production plans for the film and should not receive her million-dollar fee.
