Seagal faces $14m suit
10/06/2005 07:37 - (SA)
Los Angeles - Action movie star Steven Seagal has been sued for $14m for allegedly delaying production on two movies.
Seagal showed up late and left early while shooting Today You Die and Mercenary, routinely rewrote and changed scripts on the set, and brought an entourage that interfered with film crews, alleged a lawsuit filed on Monday in Superior Court by Kill Master Productions and its sales agent, Nu Image.
The 54-year-old actor is best known for his martial-arts moves in films such as Under Siege and Exit Wounds.
A message left with Gerry Harrington, who has served as Seagal's manager, wasn't immediately returned on Wednesday night.
In one instance, Seagal allegedly arrived 45 minutes late while filming Today You Die and left the location three and a half hours early.
Because of his actions, planned scenes were never shot, leaving the movie with a "material and irreparable problem with story logic", according to the lawsuit, which also seeks unspecified damages.
