Former Bond and Penny Dreadful actor Eva Green is being sued in London's High Court for allegedly derailing a GBP4mil (RM21.9mil) sci-fi thriller, A Patriot, in which she was to have starred alongside Helen Hunt and Charles Dance.

A deal was announced in May last year for Green, whose recent credits include Dumbo, The Luminaries and Proxima, to play the part of Kate Jones, a captain in the Border Corps of a futuristic authoritarian state. Dan Pringle was to have directed from his original screenplay.
