Tommy Lee Johnson Got Compensated much more Money Than He Was Designed to for 'No Country for Old Men'

It appears like Tommy Lee Johnson was around the right finish of the major contract error. Johnson was designed to get bonus money when his film 'No Country for Old Men' hit a particular gross target overseas, however the actor was rather granted the cash when box office receipts were only half the prospective (this happened because of a pricey error in Jones' contract). When Vital made the decision to keep off on giving him the bonus, Johnson prosecuted and was eventually granted $15 million. This is where things get really confusing. Following the Tommy Lee Johnson payout, Vital was prosecuted by Marathon Funding, a trader within the movie. The studio was attempting to off-set losing the cash in the Johnson suit, so that they made the decision to charge Marathon $3.75 million. Consequently, Marathon prosecuted, declaring breach of fiduciary duty. The Marathon/Vital suit is presently happening. Appears like the only person who arrived on the scene on the top within this fiasco is Johnson. Maybe Anton Chigurh was his lawyer.
