The Reader author sues the Weinstein Company over film payments
Bernhard Schlink, whose 1995 novel was turned into a film starring Kate Winslet, claims he has not received a penny from the studio
The Reader was one of the critical smashes of 2008, broke the $100m mark at the global box office and had an awards season run that saw Kate Winslet carry off the Oscar for best actress. Now the author of the book upon which the film was based is suing Hollywood studio the Weinstein Company, claiming he has not been paid a penny in the subsequent three years.
