“And then you definitely’re seeing what’s available on the market and it’s just diminishing and diminishing when it comes to, it’s big Marvel movies. Or things that I’m not only asked to do or really that interested by living in a green screen.”
Jennifer Lopez echoed Aniston’s thoughts that very same 12 months, telling Variety that it’s turn into harder to make movies that don’t conform to the superhero franchise.
“However the smaller more movies about humanity and folks and life and struggles, you don’t get that as much unless you do this for nothing and there’s no budget and also you’re like scraping it together,” she said.
“On top of the flicks themselves, then when you may have women characters on the front of it, it’s a complete one other battle. It’s a complete latest layer, and it’s hard to get them made.”
