Hayley Atwell wants acclaimed blockbusters

27th July 2011

(Cover) - EN Movies - Hayley Atwell wants her movie career to combine "creative and commercial" projects.

The 29-year-old British actress has enjoyed roles in films such as Cassandra's Dream and The Duchess, with her first big budget Hollywood role coming in the form of this summer's blockbuster Captain America: The First Avenger.

Hayley has some more exciting ventures in the pipeline, and hopes to control her career to encompass her artistic and more mainstream tendencies.

"Yes, and there are a couple of projects I'm doing that I can't mention, yet," she confided to Stylist.

"But I think it will be a balance of creative and commercial choices, going forward."

The star disagrees with those who argue balancing such a career is impossible. Hayley teased that she isn't very good at budgeting so couldn't allow herself to never worry about money.

"People say critical acclaim and box office success don't go hand in hand and that may be true but I don't really think I'd live much on the salary of a full-time theatre actor. I mean, I could, but I really like going out to dinner" she smiled. (C) Cover Media
