: Fletch, i reckon he's gonna be rolling in it. Probably make more off one of those than he has from his past movies combined (maybe not Jay and Bob thogh the pay for that would have been schmick). But also for his first 5 movies he was getting paid 4 times, once for writing, once for directing, once for editing (except mallrats) and once for acting so he'd make quite a nice bundle. But i think he'll still be shy of Affleck for a long while, cant believe how rich that man is, its just not right.

that wasn't a sequal and was a touching drama. Man that must have been amazing to sell a script for that much. I bet 600 grand is nothing compared to what the writer of X2 got or any big budgeted movies. but still, just imaging selling your script for so much money and knowing it will be made into a movie and you get to star in it...must be an amazing feeling. too bad he had to split it.
I could just see him dumping Damon's body in a river to get his share too :)
and only 600 for armegeddon which is sorta suprising considering his role in it. but once after that it jumped up to 6 million, so nothing to complain much about
