Actor Tommy Lee Jones has filed a $10m (€7m) lawsuit against the studio behind 'No Country for Old Men'.

The star alleges that Paramount Pictures executives promised him "significant" bonuses if the film was a success, which have not materialised.

The film company has yet to make a comment on the legal action.

Jones played the character of Sheriff Ed Tom Bell in the Coen brothers-directed film.

'No Country for Old Men' won four Academy Awards in February, including Best Picture.
