Michael Douglas' Ex Wants Proceeds from New Film

Recently, lawyers representing Michael Douglas and his former wife have battled it out in a courtroom over the earnings from the actor's forthcoming film, a sequel to Wall Street.

Diandra Douglas was granted a share of proceeds from the actor's work while they were together according to their divorce settlement in 2000.  Now, she is looking to get earnings from the new film because Douglas reprises his role of Gordon Gekko from the original 1987 film.

The lawyers representing Douglas' ex-wife say the divorce agreement gives her the right to share proceeds from spinoffs related to the work the actor engaged in during their marriage.  However, Douglas' legal team think that "enough is enough".

At this time, a New York judge has not set a date for a ruling in the case and the actor and his former wife did not appear in court.  Last week, Douglas told the media that he is being treated for a tumor in his throat.
