(Screen Gems insiders insist talks with Pettyfer are ongoing.) A meeting at Screen Gems ended abruptly when Pettyfer and his team asked for close to $10 million, drawing outrage from studio topper Clint Culpepper, according to sources. But during recent weeks, Pettyfer has been courted for two projects - Mortal Instruments at Screen Gems and The Last Apprentice at Legendary - and the actor’s behavior has left some scratching their heads.

(A CBS Films rep says Pettyfer called to explain he was having car trouble.) In mid-January, Pettyfer failed to show up for a scheduled marketing meeting at the studio, leaving CEO Amy Baer and her team waiting for two hours. Reports of defiant behavior also circled Beastly, the CBS Films romance set for release in March. Pettyfer’s girlfriend, Glee actress and Number Four co-star Dianna Agron, soon fired her entire team and also signed with Bradwell.
Soon after the DreamWorks standoff, Pettyfer switched his lead agent from WME’s Adam Isaacs to the same agency’s Thor Bradwell, who counts Twilight megastar Taylor Lautner among his clients. As recently as December, he had not cashed a single check for his Number Four work. DreamWorks refused, prompting Pettyfer to go into protest mode. Insiders say that when Pettyfer, who was being paid in the $250,000 range for the film, heard he was making less than another actor, he demanded to renegotiate his deal.
