I don't look at movies by the budget: Blake Lively
Los Angeles
Apr 21, 2017
Actress Blake Lively says she considers a project only by looking
at her role in it rather than its budget.
'I don't look at movies by the budget. I look at movies
by the character. What was neat about ‘The Shallows', it was really low
budget. It was a $17 million movie and we did over $120 million worldwide,'
Lively told variety.com.
'It's cool to do that with a story about a woman. It's
(a) proof (that) people want to see movies about women. It doesn't (mean that)
all have to be Nicholas Sparks-type films. When you look at the ‘Star
Wars' franchise now versus the ‘Star Wars' franchise then, there are women
at the centre,' she added.
Lively said that she is not ready to be a part of 'The
Shallows' sequel.
'I don't know what would happen. I hope not; I'm not ready
to go work out like that again. I'm about to do a movie in a couple months where
I'm playing a woman who is a fighter,' she said.
