Morgan Freeman recently told The New York Times that he’s okay signing on for a movie with a mediocre script as long as the pay is good enough.

“If somebody offers you a job, it’s very nice if they’re offering you also an exciting script, but in reality, two or three things come into play,” Freeman explained. “What are they going to pay you? If they’re going to pay you enough, then you overlook some of the glitches in the script that happen to be there.”
