How much was she paid (ellen page)?

Question

does anyone know how much ellen page was paid for her role in juno?

just curious...

Answer 1

This kind of information is usually kept under wraps by studios, producers and agents.  It's employment for the actors and it's not exactly ethical to share such information.

Ellen would have been paid 'below the line'.  In other words, a nominated fee within the JUNO budget would have been put aside for the lead actress, and she would have received this payment according to the government's salary cap.

Usually only big time stars get paid 'above the line', that is money set aside outside the budget and many perks to ensure the talent is attached to the film to help sell it.  People like Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts etc would get a nominal fee outside of the production budget.  These are usually announced because they are so astronomical (20 million dollar ranges).

In short, your boss doesn't announce how much you get paid, and nor do the bosses of any other actors.  It's still work for them, its their job, and things like that remain private in society.

Answer 2

Well, it was an Independent film, so it couldn't have been much. Those are low budget and filmed quickly. I believe Juno's total budget was under 7 million and filmed in 5 weeks.

Given the cast of Juno, I'd be surprised if she was paid more than $100,00.

Answer 3

I'm going to go with A LOT.
