The 31-year-old actor dropped SDB Partners as his agency in November after nine years of representation. Three months later, the agency sued, saying it had agreed to represent him in 2002 when nobody was willing to touch Pine.
They helped guide him into a plum role of Captain Kirk in the "Star Trek" reboot, before Pine allegedly stopped paying his 10 per cent commission on Trek and other projects, the Hollywood Reporter said.
The lawsuit also revealed that Pine was to be paid USD 1.5 million plus up to USD 500,000 in backend compensation for a second Trek film and possibly USD 3 million plus USD 500,000 in backend for a third film.
Pine's other deals included USD 3 million for "Unstoppable", USD 5 million for "This Means War", and USD 16 million, plus backend, for three films in Paramount's reboot of the Jack Ryan franchise.
In total, SDB claimed 25 projects that were "commissionable," and the lawsuit, filed by Bryan Freedman and Jesse Kaplan of LA's Freedman & Taitelman, also sought "millions of dollars that Pine will continue to earn as a result of SDB's prior hard work and dedication to Pine's career."
