Overview
- Morton told Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that she “hasn’t worked for a year” since finishing Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, a disclosure she made on Monday during the interview.
- Critics have singled out her Circe performance as a standout and awards contender, and Nolan said her work produced an on‑set reaction he last saw with Heath Ledger.
- Morton said her age — she is 49 — and changing industry politics have limited opportunities despite having established agents and managers.
- She revisited a longstanding career setback, recalling that she was originally cast and recorded the voice of the AI in Spike Jonze’s Her before being replaced in post‑production by Scarlett Johansson.
- Deadline has reported that Morton has been cast in projects including the rescue thriller Love and War and Amazon’s series Dirty, a development that may point to upcoming work but reflects reported casting for projects still in development.
