Reese Witherspoon on her absence from movies

The movies that are being made feel different. There are a lot of really, really, really big movies about robots and things — and there's not a part for a 34-year-old woman in a robot movie. I've never done the giant robot movie. Never done the superhero movie. That doesn't interest me too much.

I guess Gwyneth Paltrow being in Iron Man and its sequel didn't happen then. But honestly, I think this whole comment boils down to the last two lines.

Reese Witherspoon didn't want to do a blockbuster action-type movie... and that is her prerogative. She is free to pursue the parts she wants. But if the kind of parts she wants to play don't exist, and she is such a powerful individual in Hollywood, I am sure she could have found or even developed a script that she would want to make.

The fact that her current movie (and let's be honest, Four Christmases) seem like scripts Katherine Heigl would attach herself to should be an indication that she still isn't picking the best scripts.

Her next film seems to be an action movie directed by McG which she is producing. Do I really need to say more?
