Evan Rachel Wood is now facing legal litigation for the sum of $30 million dollars for abandoning her role in the upcoming Ten Things I Hate About You sequel, 10 Things I Hate About Life.

She was scheduled to play the leading role in the movie and producers claim that they’ve paid her $300,000 to secure her to act in the film. They claim that Rachel Evan Wood refused to continue filming after they took a 10 month hiatus last year.

Evan Rachel Wood’s representatives are claiming that this lawsuit is a “bullying tactic” from a desperate production company that’s run out of money. Evidently running out of money is why the production shut down in the first place in February of 2013.

There are rumors that in November of 2013 the production company still did not have their act together. Claims from the production company that they would pay Evan Rachel Wood the owed amount and/or resume production of the movie proved to be false.

Wood’s representation says that the film’s producers are the ones that breached the filming contract and who owe their client promised money in the first place.

The original Ten Things I Hate About You starred the late Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles through their budding high school romance, where the new kid must find and date the meanest girl in school. The movie was vastly popular because of its wide appeal to high school misfits. The producers were planning on catapulting this film to the same level of success as the original.
