END OF A NATION Charlotte has purchased the movie rights to the book, End of a Nation. The book is about the history of the Apache nation in the United States, with an emphasis on a particular military trial of an Apache chief during the 1800s. Pursuant to a written agreement, she has paid the author, Seth O'Malley, US$500,000 for the rights. Charlotte is thrilled when famous actor James Cool agrees to take the leading role of the military officer assigned to defend the chief. She signs an agreement with Cool, in which he is to be paid US$3,000,000 for the role, and pays him the "advance nonrefundable deposit" of US$800,000 set forth in the written contract for his services. There is a provision in the agreement stating that if Cool breaches the contract, he will owe liquidated damages of US$50,000. Charlotte is not happy with the contract terms, but is so pleased to have Cool under contract that she goes ahead and signs the agreement. In order to have the proper outdoor scenes in the film, Charlotte enters a written agreement to buy some property in South Dakota from owner Robert Jones. Jones owns two virtually identical pieces of property (the northern property and the southern property) that are located next to each other. Charlotte buys the northern property for US$50,000 and passes on the southern property. During the next several months, Charlotte retains the services of various technicians, cinematographers, and scriptwriters. However, one month before shooting is scheduled to begin, several things happen. Even though there is no written condition in his contract with Charlotte, author Seth O'Malley claims that his agreement to accept US$500,000 was based on his condition that no known actors would appear in the film; he claims that, if he had known that James Cool was going to be in the movie, he would have demanded US$1,000,000. O'Malley refuses to allow Charlotte the rights to his book. Property owner Jones refuses to turn over the northern property to Charlotte, but states that he is willing to turn over to her the southern property, which he claims is "identical anyway." James Cool claims that he does not like the way the script turns out and withdraws from the project. On the one positive note, another famous actor, Avery Awesome, contacts Charlotte and agrees to charge US$500,000 to play the part that Cool was going to play because he believes "the story has something important to say."Please comment on the hallowing questions and integrate the text readings into your answers: 1.
