Scarlett Johansson is one of the highest-grossing movie stars of all time, so yeah, she knows a thing or two about what gets people into theater seats—and she isn’t afraid to leverage that experience to give her unfiltered opinion on job offers. “Am I making something that other people want to see? Is there an audience for this movie?” Johansson said of her decision-making process in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “I’m not making a movie just for me.” Never one to back down from sticking it to Hollywood, she said that, aside from her own vetting process, she also challenges executives to think more carefully about the projects they’re greenlighting. “Sometimes I get studio projects that I have to say, ‘I don’t think you should make this. I don’t know who you’re making this for. ‘It seems irresponsible to make this,'” Johansson said.
