A payment dispute between actor Kevin Costner and the distributor of his film "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" has spilled into bankruptcy court, the Wall Street Journal's Bankruptcy Beat blog reported yesterday. A lawsuit filed on March 29 claims that Costner's quest for a share of the revenue generated by the foreign distribution of the 1991 film threatens the distributor’s ongoing restructuring. As a result, the suit aims to block Costner from pursuing the compensation until the distributor, Inverness Distribution Ltd., completes its restructuring.
