Abigail Breslin Sued by Producers Alleging Her Accusations Against Co-Star Aaron Eckhart Jeopardized Film's Release
Production companies claim $80,000 in damages and film distribution issues due to actress refusing to work alone with co-star in "Classified"; Breslin demands additional $35,000 for final contract agreement.
- Abigail Breslin, co-star in the film 'Classified', has alleged that Aaron Eckhart behaved aggressively and unprofessionally on the set, which reportedly nearly halted the entire production. Breslin refused to be alone in several scenes with Eckhart, causing costly accommodations to be made.
- Following Breslin's complaints about Eckhart's behavior, the film's producers — Dream Team Studios and WM Holdings — sued her for breach of contract. They claim Breslin's 'wild, hysterical and imaginary' allegations cost the project $80,000.
- An on-set producer investigated Breslin's allegations but found no supporting evidence. The production companies have claimed that few scenes in which Breslin and Eckhart appear together have led to 'delivery issues' with potential distribution partners.
- The lawsuit also reveals that Breslin has refused to sign her final contract agreement, demanding an additional $35,000. Breslin's refusal to sign has put the film distribution at risk and has prevented the production companies from claiming tax credits in Malta, where the movie was shot.
- Despite the lawsuit, Breslin stands by her allegations, as confirmed by her representative. She, however, is 'not aware of any action filed against her' and has not received any legal notice.
