$1.25 Million a Day for Harrison
[Monday, February 26th, 2001]Harrison Ford is to recieve a whopping $1.25 million a day, for a total of 20 days, mounting up to $25 million for his role as Cpt. Nicolai Zateyev in the movie "K-19: The Widowmaker". Here is the full report from Page Six:
The Hollywood heartthrob is set to earn a staggering $25 million for just 20 days of work on his latest movie - more than $1 million a day!
Ford will pocket a whopping $1.25 million for each day on the set of his upcoming flick, "K-19: The Widowmaker."
For a standard eight-hour day, that'll be a cool $156,000 an hour, about $2,500 per minute, $41 per second.
The eye-popping windfall smashes the record set when Marlon Brando collected $3 million in 1978 for working four days on "Superman," in a part that amounted to less than 10 minutes of screen time.
And while Mel Gibson reportedly took home $25 million for his starring role in "The Patriot," he spent more than twice as long working on that film as Ford will have to on his.
The plot to the film, provided by IMDB:
The true story of Russia's first nuclear ballistic submarine, which suffered a malfunction in its nuclear reactor on its maiden voyage in the North Atlantic in 1961. The submarine's crew, led by the unyielding Captain Zateyev, races against time to prevent a Chernobyl-like nuclear explosion which threatens not only the lives of his crew, but has the potential to ignite a world war between the super powers.
