Jul 19, 2022 14:20



Have you ever wonder why A-list actors sometimes star in random B movies doomed to fail? Is it for taxes?

Probably, but journalists Amy Kaufman and Meg James from the LA Times uncovered 5 actors' contract details as part of a thorough investigation on sleazy producer Randall Emmett. He is facing a dozen lawsuits as well as allegations of abuse against women, assistants and business partners. He is accused of offering acting work in exchange for sexual favors and of forcing assistants to conduct illegal activity.

Unfortunately, the rest of the investigation is behind a gate but the actors' contracts details have made headlines because of the insane perks and per diem they get.

Robert De Niro's contract details




According to the journalists: "Emmett and Furla’s business model relied heavily on tax credits and paying millions to aging stars and then pushing their films in foreign markets including the Middle East, Russia and Turkey, where audiences remained eager to see American he-men smash bad guys. The bigger the name, the bigger the foreign presales, which meant more investment and more money that everyone - actors, agents and producers - could grab. According to internal emails, Willis’ standard fee was $2 million for two days’ work."
