'Ms Green made it clear that she did not want to make the film under Mr Seal's full control and the defendants were only interested in recovering SMC's loan.' 'The reality is, however, that neither side was prepared to make the film that the other wanted to make,' the judge said. He said the producer had been 'patronising, sarcastic and denigrating' during evidence and he could see how others might dislike him. Mr Justice Michael Green said there had been an 'overinterpretation' of her messages - which stemmed from 'a genuine feeling of concern that any film made under Mr Seal's control would be of very low quality'. The judge decided Green had not renounced her contract nor committed any 'repudiatory breaches' - meaning she's set to get her $1m (£803,000) fee. In her victory statement, she said she'd 'fought tooth and nail to defend the beautiful film that I loved and had signed on for'. Image: Green arriving to give evidence earlier this year.
