- Share via
Actor Jerry Lewis sued Walt Disney Co.’s Hollywood Pictures unit, saying he is owed $1.05 million under an agreement to remake or produce a sequel to the 1961 comedy “The Errand Boy.”
Hollywood Pictures and Spyglass Entertainment Group, which acquired the 1996 agreement from Hollywood Pictures, have paid Lewis only $50,000 out of the $1.1 million he’s owed under the contract regardless of whether a picture was made or his services used, the actor said in a complaint filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Disney and Hollywood Pictures couldn’t be reached for comment.
