Exclusive: Danny DeVito blasts ‘greedy’ modern Hollywood

Hollywood legend Danny DeVito has slammed the modern movie industry.

Speaking exclusively to Yahoo! Movies, the veteran actor said that film studios are only concerned about making money and have let their moral integrity slip.

He said: "[Hollywood] has gone through a great deal of changes. Not only in technological changes, which is just massive, but also economic changes — big time.

"What was the film capital of the world has been kind of usurped by the 'I want to make as much money for myself as I can' philosophy and it doesn't matter if there are people out of work who live in Hollywood and built the industry."

DeVito condemned the outsourcing of film making to foreign countries, citing 'Captain America: First Avenger', which was shot in the UK.

He said this was "just the way it goes for the bottom line for companies that operate out of America".

Danny DeVito vented his frustration at modern Hollywood during an interview for his new film 'Dr Seuss' The Lorax' where he voices the titular role.

'Dr Seuss' The Lorax' is due for release in the UK on 27th July.
