Harris' Potter demands during The Count of Monte Cristo...

The filming of the Count of Monte Cristo in Dublin is leading to movie scandal like never seen before in Ireland. The film which is shooting in Ireland's famed Ardmore studios stars veteran Irish actor Richard Harris, American actor Michael Wincott (the baddie in The Crow and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves) and LA Confidential's Austrailian star Guy Pearse.

While Pearse has only hit Dublin's nightspots once since arriving here Wincott has been hitting the dance floors everynight that he has off. The party animal even took a night out with the Irish singing stunner Andrea Corr from the band The Corrs after a party with REM's Michael Stipe, who is here with his band making their new album.

But as usual hellraiser Harris has been causing the most bother and this time it's noting to do with either drink or women. The actor who is now 70 is cashing in on his newly revamped popularity in Hollywood after his performance in Gladiator that he setting down new rules for his next movie the hugely hyped Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

According to reports in one Irish paper the actor is looking for a two percent stake in the profits from his role as Dumbledore in the movie. Reports are that the actor has asked his agent to set a new contract for him. Instead of getting a flat fee for the role he gets a percentage of merchandising profits arising from the sale of products tied to the film rather then the book.

And as we all know Harris always gets his way. So, it looks now like Harris will make a pile of money just as the late Alec Guinness did from Star Wars...
