I do NOT believe that Alec Baldwin was only getting less than $300,000.00 for this film.

Not an expert, but as an investor in the deal was he working cheap and expecting the payoff from sales later on?
Tax dodge?

That’s just for the acting and producing stuff. His money will come from the movie profits....which ain’t gonna happen.

That’s up to the point of release. I’d bet he gets a percentage of the now non-existing box office and video sales.

I do NOT believe that Alec Baldwin was only getting less than $300,000.00 for this film.

This was only the production budget.

In Hollyweird there is a thing called a "backend deal," which is a cut of the box office. I'm positive that Baldwin would have had a cut of the box office as part of his full "compensation package."
