“I would have had to promote the movie from an honest place, which would’ve been, like, ‘Oh no, it’s not good. I just couldn’t turn down that much money,’ " Ferrell said at the time. “And I thought, ‘Can I actually say those words? I don’t think I can, so I guess I can’t do the movie.’ "
Theron toldHarper’s Bazaarthat she was interested in doing Netflix’s new YA fantasyadaptationThe School for Good & Evilso she could share it with her kids. The movie, on Netflix Oct. 19, also stars Kerry Washington, Michelle Yeoh and Laurence Fishburne.
