Guy Pearce Stayed Away from Studio Movies Because ‘You Just Get Told What to Do’ by Execs ‘Afraid to Lose Their Jobs’: ‘That’s a Killer for Me’


Guy Pearce has mostly stayed away from studio movies because "you just get told what to do by people afraid to lose their jobs."

Pearce has stayed busy over the years with indie dramas and international fare, which he recently told GQ magazine was somewhat of a reaction to the bad experiences he had with a few studio films. When he decided to return, he pivoted full time to more creative indie projects like the Western drama “The Proposition” and biographical film “Factory Girl,” in which he played Andy Warhol. The actor told Vanity Fair earlier this month that he met with Christopher Nolan around the same time for a role in “The Prestige,” but a studio executive at Warner Bros. allegedly had no interest in working with Pearce.
