Eric Bana says it is hard to get interesting and intelligent movies off the ground.
Bana has starred in blockbusters such as Troy and Star Trek over the years, but admits that 'bigger is not always better'.
Speaking to Red Bulletin, the actor said: "Over the last five years it's been getting harder for everyone because everything is going bigger - bigger concepts, bigger budgets, bigger movies - and the more intelligent, interesting movies have been harder to get off the ground.
"The movies I've made recently are not movies that people rush to see on opening weekend.
"Yes, it can mess with your head because you can question yourself and wonder how to find the right balance, but no one really knows the answer to that. I do know that bigger isn't always better."
Bana is set to return to the big screen with Lone Survivor - a film that will see him team up with director Peter Berg.
The movie is based on a failed Navy Seal mission in Afghanistan, and will also star Mark Wahlberg, Ben Foster and Emile Hirsch.
We are also going to be seeing Bana tackle the horror/thriller as he has completed work on Deliver Us from Evil.
Lone Survivor is released 31st January.
