Not sure what you're saying, don't most actors get paid to be in movies?

Or was that a typo and he paid them - which wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

Obviously ACTORS get paid to be in movies.

The thing that I dont think you understand is that Blitz is not an actor but a dude who gave the movie money for production in exchange for screen time.

Due to the fact that they didnt give him all of the screen time his milsky bought(Only a small fraction of screen time), he is sueing them for the money back (And will probably win because the contract which is easily available online was pretty clear).

Therefore, he gets his money back while still getting screen time.

The way I see it, that millsky is no longer his once he invests in the movie so when he recoups it after still having a few lines in the movie, it will be like they paid him to be in their movie.

lol at thinking his case has any legs. A producer or director is not going to put their mutli-million dollar production at the mercy of some amateur actor because he invested a small percentage of the total budget. Thinking he's going to get eight minutes screen time is laughably ignorant of the business. I haven't seen the movie yet, but since Eric Bana is not part of the mission that Marky Mark goes on, I bet he doesn't get much more than ten minutes screen time. And he's, you know...a star.

If the producers actually did contractually promise Dan 8 minutes of screen time in return for his investment, then he obviously has a case.

My point is that I'm doubting the validity of that case and so-called promise. Because it makes no sense.

Please stop saying that his case has no legs and check out the contract online.

The contract clearly stipulates that he is paying for a certain amount of screen time and that every minute of this that is taken away from him entitles him to portion of his money back.

Its funny because blitz doesnt come across as a super smart dude but that contract is so comprehensive and it saves his ass from getting screwed like he did.

Dude must have matlock as a lawyer.

Acting Services of Bilzerian

(a) The parties acknowledge that Production Company has caused Peter Berg (“Berg”) to write into the Screenplay the role of Sr. Chief Healy to be performed by Bilzerian in the Picture (the “Role”). The parties further acknowledge that Berg has meaningfully consulted with Bilzerian in advance of writing the Role and taken into consideration Bilzerian’s thoughts, ideas and concerns in writing the Role. The Role, as written into the shooting draft of the Screenplay, shall not be less than 80 spoken words. Production Company and Producers agree that Bilzerian shall appear recognizably in the Role in the final cut of the Picture submitted to Universal (the “Delivery Cut”) for not less than eight (8) minutes and Bilzerian shall not speak less than eighty (80) words of dialogue (not including any voiceover that Bilzerian may provide) in such Delivery Cut. Production Company also agrees that Bilzerian shall be credited in the end crawl adjacent to other cast. The Producers acknowledge that Bilzerian appearing recognizably in the Role in the Delivery Cut for not less than eight (8) minutes and Bilzerian speaking not less than eighty (80) words of dialogue in the Delivery Cut is of the essence of making the Loan and represents valuable and material consideration in exchange for the Loan....
(iv) In the event that Bilzerian is recognizable in the Role for less than 4 minutes and/or Bilzerian speaks less than 50 words of dialogue in the Delivery Cut, at Bilzerian’s option, Producers shall pay the sum of $1,000,000 as a purchase of all of Bilzerian’s right to repayment of the Loan … [which the Producers can then take out of the film's proceeds] … plus pay a 20% premium thereon (i.e., $200,000). For avoidance of doubt, the maximum amount payable by Producers to Bilzerian pursuant to this Paragraph 1.a.iv is $1,200,000.
seems solid.

Here's the contract.

Link should take you to the page but if it doesn't it's about 1/2 way down.

If producers comes up to you and asks you to help fund a movie who wouldn't make a contract to be somewhat apart of it.. Especially when it's about something you used be so passionate about

Thanks for the clarification mate. Like I said I'm not at all surprised he would pay to 'act'.

Ok it seems that when he financed this movie, it was only a small project.

Berg probably realized that he would get more money in the long run if the film was better as a result of Bilzerian speaking less than 8 minutes. This decision was probably made afterwards as a result of bad acting on Bilzerians part or good acting on the part of other actors. You can only make the movie so long and you can only cut so many eric bana parts. Only way this makes sense is if the movie is gna gross big and they just dgaf about a mill and would sacrafice that mill in order to keep the integrity of their film.

Well, if that contract is legit, I guess he's owed money! Still makes absolutely no sense from the Producer's POV, though.

The only way out for the studio is if Universal can make changes after the delivery cut. But I assume that whoever created a contract that detailed would have known if that was possible.

why not? if the producer needs $1M to finish the movie, he takes the dough, the "talent" gets filmed, and it goes to the editing room.

somewhere late in the editing process, there is probably a risk management group analyzing how much money the movie is going to make if it is good. If the estimate is a lot, and Dan's acting sucks, then they screw Dan, are willing to admit they are in breach of contract and refund his money (after the movie actually turns a profit). If it is estimated that the movie will end up in the red, they keep his part in the picture and keep his money.

Yeah, that's not how it usually works.

But I can see a situation where the first producers were going for a lower-budget and needed some seed money. And now that it's a big, Hollywood movie, they may not care about that contract and eat the cost of it and/or make Dan sue them.

Eh, but I guess that's pretty similar to what you said.

I wonder if there are any stipulations rwgarding DVD cuts/extra scenes.
