  1. > Speaking to Town & Country magazine for a new cover story, the Oscar nominee made the surprise revelation that she would happily star in “Minecraft 2.” Why? “Because her kids loved the first one and because she’d like to make a pile of cash,” the publication summarized, with Dunst adding herself: “Maybe I can just make a movie where I don’t lose money?”

  4. Is she just that obessed by money or the media are painting her this way? Few weeks ago I saw similar article with Dunst saying she loved working on Spider Man movies because she made a lot of money on them. And would also like to come back as Mary Jane because no other movies are paying that much money. I mean, I get it, nobody’s working for free, nobody’s doing the blockbuster movies for the art etc. but all she is talking lately is money, money, money. She has some financial problems or something?

  5. Did she not get handed a pile of cash for that Civil War piece of shit?

  6. I too would accept a dumptruck of money for work I enjoy.

  8. How does she lose money? Sounds like she is making bad deals.

  9. Money is why I do my job, too. I’m glad she’s honest about it and not putting on airs.

  12. I’ve been at starbucks for years. Yes it’s not a lot of money but it is pretty good for how low stress and conveniently located my store is plus all the perks like health insurance and free food and drinks. My point is I’m find doing some dumb job for money if it’s convenient and low stress and enough money (for me)

  13. I mean, yeah? That’s the ideal life right there that everybody wishes they could have. Just have fun on set messing around and get paid millions of dollars.

  16. She also complained that she didn’t make as much as Tobey Maguire in Spiderman.

    You didn’t make as much as Spiderman in the Spiderman movie? Crazy

  17. Yeah but that would mean people actually want to see you act on the big screen though…oh awkward…

  18. Only if she recreates the rain scene from Spiderman..but no Spiderman. Just the shirt…her…and the rain. 😬

  19. I thought she was great in Civil War. But I too would enjoy more time with Jack Black then I’m currently spending with him

  20. OMG!!! We have to go see the Minecraft 2 movie and spend lots of money because you saw who is staring in it????? Yeah that’s right! The girl who is famous for being in spider man!

  21. We all wish we can do our job & not lose money each month, but unfortunately she gets paid way more than we do & losing money doesn’t affect her as much as it does us.

  22. Her movie picking really is off, if thats what she’s after.

  23. Did you ever consider that people don’t enjoy your chosen craft?

  24. Chasing money. Never going to get what you’re after chasing money

  25. “What a genius idea, why didn’t I think of that?”

  26. Good for her. My kids and I enjoyed the first one, it was a lovely movie and I’m sure the second one will make an obscene amount of money.

  27. The hipsters call it “selling out”.

    And I’d do it too.

    Fuck principles. I want money.

  28. She’s getting to the age where she could actually play Aunt May in another reboot of Spider-Man

  29. Imagine going from Spider-Man 2, Dick, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Eternal Sunshine, and Marie Antoinette to … Minecraft 2.

  30. Minecraft was absolutely going to bomb if it wasn’t for the single meme of people losing their shite during the dumb lines.

  31. She’s a good actor but feels like wet blanket a bit. At least I can’t remember any comedy roles. All that heavy maybe quirky stuff. That does not sell. She needs to be more fun, discover her action self or something to make more money.

  34. How does an actor make a movie and lose money i wonder?

  35. Much respect to her for choosing amazing roles over the years. They don’t all make a ton of money but she chooses art over cash.

  36. As a famous musical artist once said, “write one song for the fans, write one for the critics and write one for yourself.” Or something like that.

  37. I don’t think she has the vocal range to nail “Lava Chicken” and her energy isn’t normally at JB’s, but they did say the turquoise blouses were unisex so I’d give her a shot (/s if it wasnt readily apparent)

  38. I like her because she keep it real. We know when celebrities take roles just for the paycheck. We also work for a paycheck why not just say it out loud instead of some bullshit.

  39. She does understand she won’t be payed more than Mine Craft
