has accused the project’s director Dan Pringle of being “inexperienced” and “starstruck.”
During cross-examination by Green’s lawyer, Edmund Cullen KC, on Tuesday afternoon, Seal told the court of the project: “This is effectively a first-time director, very inexperienced, who has never worked with a studio before.” Seal added that Pringle had only previously made one feature, which was filmed on location rather than on a sound stage and had never previously overseen the building of a set or worked with a water tank, all of which “A Patriot” was going to require.
Green is suing White Lantern Ltd – the production company set up by Merrifield and Pringle to make “A Patriot” – over her $1 million fee. Merrifield and Pringle resigned as directors of the company shortly before the project collapsed in late 2019. Green claims that under the terms of her “pay or play” contract she is still owed her fee, which is currently being held in escrow by her agent.
