Adrien Brody sues to keep Giallo from release Even though famed horror auteur Dario Argento is set to release his latest thriller Giallo on DVD this week, star Adrien Brody is suing for the sum of $3 million in an attempt to stop the movie from seeing distribution. The actor alleges that producers lied to him in order to keep him from walking off the set.
The Hollywood Reporter states that Adrien Brody signed a "pay or play" contract to appear in the project, but soon discovered that Giallo was under funded, and that producers had failed to pay upwards of $640,000 into an escrow account.
