Robin Williams is suing Frank and Beans Prods, and Gold Circle Films for over $6 million accusing the two companies of no pay when he agreed to star in the detective comedy film “A Couple of Dicks”. He was supposed to co-star with James Gandolfini (the Sopranos famed). Williams was informed back in March that the film is getting canned and it’s not going to get made at all. Williams maintains that Gold Circle is supposed to pay him even though the film is not getting made. It is part of a pay-or-play thing. This wasn’t the firt time that Gold Circle has been sued over this, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson sued them for the film “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”.

Robin Williams may be a good and heartwarming guy but you don’t mess with him. He is not laughing now.
