<p>Adrien Brody has said he was reluctantly forced to sue the makers of a thriller film because they failed to pay his full salary.</p>
<p>On Monday, US District Judge Dale S Fischer blocked the sale or use of Adrien&#8217;s likeness in Giallo until the Oscar winner&#8217;s remaining salary is paid. </p>
<p>The judge noted in her ruling that the actor was likely to prevail in his two-million-dollar lawsuit against the filmmakers.</p>
<p>&#8220;At no point did I ever wish to be involved in a legal dispute, but after over a year of attempting to resolve this matter I was left with no other alternative,&#8221; Adrien said in a statement released by his lawyer.</p>
<p>The actor sued Hannibal Pictures and UK-based Giallo Productions Ltd in October, shortly before Giallo went on sale in the US. In a sworn declaration, Adrien claimed the filmmakers lied to him about the movie&#8217;s financing and how much its Italian distribution rights were worth.</p>
<p>The picture was shot in 2008 in Turin, Italy, and Adrien is featured prominently on the DVD&#8217;s cover.</p>
<p>The Pianist star said he was grateful for the ruling.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am greatly appreciative of the court&#8217;s ruling which protects me, and shows support for all artists who have been manipulated and taken advantage of by unscrupulous employers,&#8221; his statement said.</p>
<p>According to the lawsuit, he agreed to defer some of his salary payments for Giallo after its producers informed him the film was having financial problems. As a concession, Adrien was given the ability to withhold his likeness from the movie unless he was fully paid, and he is still owed 640,000 dollars, according to the suit.</p>
