Tommy Lee Jones has become the latest moving-picture show personality to sue a film studio alleging that he was the victim of studio accounting practices aimed at ensuring that "back end" participants pick up little or no requital. In his lawsuit Jones claims that he in agreement to costar in Paramount's No Country for Old Men for low pay but "significant box-office bonuses" if the movie became a hit. Not only did it become a hit -- it earned $160 1000000 worldwide -- but it received the Oscar for best film of 2007. Jones is seeking $10 million.
