MICHAEL CAINE - CAINE SLAMS BRITISH FILM INDUSTRY

CAINE SLAMS BRITISH FILM INDUSTRY

SIR MICHAEL CAINE has infuriated the British film industry with claims its scripts are too poorly written to entice him. The London-born star has appeared in only one home-grown movie since 2000, and vows to continue shunning British projects until better offers come his way. He says, "All my films would be British films if I got the scripts. "But then the thing is I can't just sit around for 15 years waiting for another EDUCATING RITA." Caine recently extended his attack of contemporary films to Hollywood too, fuming, "I can't think of one (recent movie) I could see again. Some of the pictures are so gross."
