Salaries are going down! Down I say! Oh, by the way, Julia Roberts is making $15M for her new movie.
The first Iron Man movie made a PROFIT of $440M. So, of course, they need to economize on salaries for the remake. Can't take too many chances, you know!
I suspect that there's more to the story.
No movie ever makes a profit. Hollywood’s accountants see to that.
The only rule you need to know as an agent is “there is no net.”
