This article is fascinating. Essentially Blake was using her unsigned contract as leverage throughout the whole film. You’ll recall her lawyer kept sending messages that she could leave the film at any time and obviously after they sunk costs into getting some shots with her that would’ve caused Wayfarer millions so they kept plowing ahead and giving into her demands.

However, because she did not have a signed contract, when the movie went on to make $350 million all she was entitled to was the 3 million they had agreed to in the original letter -if she if she had signed the contract she would have gotten $37 million.

Apparently, if they had tried to pay her, they would’ve opened themselves up to other litigation. You can’t just pay someone when they didn’t sign a contract as it has other implications for other investors, etc. who were expecting their cut of the film.

Basically this article is saying there was no strategy into this case. Ryan and Blake wanted to throw a bomb in the hopes of getting their money. And now because of her unsigned contract she has lost out on 37 million. Blake’s estimated net worth is 30 million. This would have been mind blowing money. I know we talk about Ryan’s 400 million but that is tied up in his businesses etc. it’s not like he has that to spend, unlike this.

Truly crazy. I wonder who advised Blake not to sign? [/quote]
