BOND girl Eva Green has won a High Court battle over her $1million fee for a never-made movie.
The actress, 42, sued White Lantern Film for payment after the filming of sci-fi flick A Patriot collapsed.
The company and its lender countersued saying Ms Green had broken her contract by refusing to perform and making “excessive creative and financial demands”.

But yesterday Justice Michael Green ruled that the actress did not breach her contract or renounce her obligations and should get her money.
He said her foul-mouthed remarks — revealed in WhatsApp messages used as evidence in January — were “born from a genuine feeling of concern”.
Ms Green had previously told the court she was unhappy when budget cuts forced filming to move from Ireland.
In messages she called one of the film’s team a “f***** moron”, described some crew as “s*** peasants from Hampshire” and said executive producer Jake Seal was “pure vomit”.
Ms Green — best known for winning 007’s heart as Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale — said her Frenchness was to blame for inappropriate language.
After yesterday’s ruling Ms Green said: “I was forced to stand up to a small group of men, funded by deep financial resources, who tried to use me as a scapegoat to cover up their own mistakes.
“I am proud that I stood up against their bully-boy tactics.
“They made false allegations about me in public court documents which the judge has now shown are totally incorrect.”
White Lantern and its backers dismissed her bullying claims and said they might appeal.
