GTA IV star, Niko Bellic, wants more money
Michael Hollick, known as the voice of GTA IV’s main character Niko Bellic wants more money? From who? From Rockstar of course. And why?
Well, it seems Hollick is unsatisfied with the money he received during the time the game was filmed, around $100000 for 15 months of work. Especially when the game made sells of over $600 millions in just a couple of weeks from its launch, millions from which Hollick won’t see a dime. Kind of frustrating, right?
But I’m not sure what he can do, since the initial agreement said nothing about further paying. And also, Hollywood laws say that: "actors get paid standard Screen Actor’s Guild day wages for their work (roughly $730), leaving them out of the lucrative residual loop should a property become financially successful. (Source: Yahoo) " . On the other hand, actors in commercials or videos do get residual money according to the success of their work... And maybe that’s what is Hollick trying top achieve here too.
So, that does not leave any room for interpretation… Or does? Cause if Hollick can do what Niko does in the game… well… things might get a little bit out of hand.

GTA IV me encanta lo juego casi todos los dias, creo que la historia es fantastica y los graficos son excelentes, que lastima que no tengo tanto tiempo para jugarlo mas ya que estoy regularmente muy ocupado, pero es muy divertido.
hahaha, Since the game is a sucess everyone wants a piece of the pie
IF Hollick can do what Niko does in the game… well… things might get a little bit out of hand. Great Article for Game lovers …
Please, this is ridiculous. The guy knew the past success of the franchise, if he did a poor job negotiating that is his own fault. It sucks to miss the boat, but this could have been prevented and there are plenty of ways around daily SAG rates.
I cant wait for GTA V !!!
