\n Two MAJOR movie executives were so against putting Kevin Bacon in one of their flicks … they paid the actor $25,000 so he would go away … so says a new lawsuit.<\/p>\n

It’s just one of the allegations made by the director and a producer of the animated flick “Escape from Planet Earth” … a movie about aliens escaping from Area 51 … which was supposed to be made by The Weinstein Company. The movie was never completed.<\/p>\n

According to the lawsuit, the Weinsteins — who also executive produced “The King’s Speech” — were “out-of-control” … and ran the project into the ground. Among the allegations:<\/p>\n

— The Weinsteins often issued “incessant, incoherent, and even contradictory notes” about the movie and forced the writer to re-work the script 17 times.<\/p>\n

— Harvey Weinstein paid Kevin Bacon $25,000 NOT to be in the film … despite the fact that Bacon previously agreed to take a role for $50,000 … all because Weinstein felt $50,000 was too much to pay Kevin Bacon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
