Morton Hits Out at Oldman

British actress Samantha Morton has hit out at countryman Gary 
Oldman - for refusing to read a low-budget film script. The In 
America star, 27, has blasted big-budget actors for being swayed only 
by cash when choosing their next film role. And is furious her own 
reputation has suffered simply because she's eager to make honest and 
credible films. Morton says, "I used to be, and still am, considered 
very difficult. I think, 'What is difficult?' If I'm put in an 
uncomfortable environment, I become defensive. We really want Gary 
Oldman for a part in my next film, River Queen, but we cannot even 
get him a script because he won't read anything we send him unless we 
offer him a million. I mean, how sad is that? These actors get people 
to do everything for them and five years down the line they don't 
know how to pay their bills or even cook their own food." 

Where do I sign up for a million? Sassy
