It appears that there are some big fat paychecks that are missing for the producers of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and Tom Hanks and along with his wife Rita Wilson and Nia Vardalos (the star of the film) are going to court over it. Here’s more on the story from imdb.com:
the trio co-produced the 2002 movie and maintain their co-financiers at Gold Circle Films still owe them a share of the profits. The ongoing lawsuit was referred to mediation on Monday and Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos set a court date for January 20 just in case the trio’s mediation battle fails.
I have high hopes for this lawsuit, My Big Fat Greek Wedding made a pile of cash and if money is being unfairly withheld then I think the odds are with the producers of this film.
I believe this not only because the justice system still has the ability to work in the United States but because these are three of the most cute and innocent looking grown ups in the world. If they say someone stole their money, who isn’t going to believe them?
