Hanks Drops Big Fat Greek Wedding Lawsuit
Tom Hanks, his wife Rita Wilson and actress Nia Vardalos have dropped their legal battle all over profits from hit 2002 movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Vardalos wrote the script for the comedy, while Hanks and Wilson were producers of the film. My Big Fat Greek Wedding proved to be an unexpected blockbuster, earning profits of $368 1000000. However, the trio subsequently accused their co-financiers at Gold Circle Films of reneging on agreements to pay the stars a share of the takings, and filed a cause at Los Angeles County Superior Court in 2007. But the firm's bosses have reportedly refused to pay the plaintiffs whatsoever share of the lucre or amends - and Hanks, Wilson and Vardalos have since decided to put an end to the legal wrangling by dropping the suit entirely. They get yet to give a specific reasonableness for their actions.
