Remember Sahara, the one-off attempt to give Matthew McConaughey his own action franchise? It was a big time flop, and now author Clive Cussler, who already lost one lawsuit against producers Crusade Entertainment, is forking over even more money for a movie he's credited with trying to sabotage.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge John Shook on Monday ruled that Cussler owes another $14 million in legal fees, which the author's attorney, Bert Fields, says the verdict will be challenged, meaning a four-year legal battle will drag on even longer.
"The jury [in the previous case] decided in favor of Clive Cussler on most of the issues," Fields said. "The judge took that away from Cussler. We're absolutely 100% confident that it will be overturned."...

The long-running legal drama over the 2005 superflop "Sahara" has taken a surprising turn, with a Los Angeles judge ruling that author Clive Cussler must pay Philip Anschutz's Crusader Entertainment nearly $14 million in legal fees.
In a decision issued after a spirited four-hour hearing Monday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge John Shook found that Cussler's contracts with Crusader to adapt his "Sahara" novel into a film required the losing party in litigation to pay the winner's attorneys fees. Shook ruled that Cussler was the loser based on a 2007 jury finding that Cussler owed Crusader $5 million in damages.
"The issue boils down to whether the fees requested are reasonable and necessary," Shook said.
The $13.9 million award is extremely high and reflects the cost of a prolonged and contentious legal battle between well-funded Hollywood adversaries.
"This entire ordeal has been very long, very trying and very expensive," said David Weil, CEO of Anschutz Film Group,...
