- In disappointing-but-not-suprising news, producers for the Netflix drama The Crown acknowledged (when asked point blank) that Matt Smith was paid more than Claire Foy due to his stint on Doctor Who.
- Producers insist that from this point on, no one will be paid more than the Queen.
- The series is one of the most expensive ever made.
- The next actress to play the Queen is Olivia Colman, with no news yet on who will play Prince Philip.
They better pay Queen Olivia!
*by her, obviously I mean Matt

anyway she's a goddess
Matt Smith was paid more than Claire Foy due to his stint on Doctor Who.
Okay, maybe you could argue that for s1, but after that it should have been clear that she was the star of the show! Ridiculous.

But then as the poster above says it was probs one big 2 years contract.
ugh.
I’m excited to see Olivia and yes they better be paying ha good money!!
It's like X-Files. Okay, DD was a lot more known than GA when they started, he had done some legit movie work of which Kalifornia was fairly well received (though for Pitt and Lewis, not him), but still. CC had to fight for GA to be cast at all. But this last version of the series, when at the least they would be been equal, and in fact HER series were far better received critically and commercially. And yet they STILL wanted to pay her less. Fuck that noise.
