Kirsten (you didn't say it right) Dunst wants to be in ‘A Minecraft Movie' sequel to make a ‘pile of cash'
Kirsten Dunst wants to make a movie — and make 'a pile of cash.' In a recent interview with the magazine Town and Country, the 'Bring It On' actor expressed her interest in appearing in the sequel to the Warner Bros. record-breaking film 'A Minecraft Movie.' 'Maybe I can make a movie where I don't lose money?' she said. Dunst, who set the record straight on the pronunciation of her name on Wednesday (it's Keer-sten), has been acting since the age of 3. She last appeared in Alex Garland's dystopian war film 'Civil War,' which earned roughly $127 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. The film became the second-highest-grossing film for A24. In comparison, 'A Minecraft Movie' made a 'pile of cash' more than Dunst's last three movies, combined — $955 million worldwide. In the interview, Dunst revealed she has a few projects lined up, including Ruben Östlund's film 'The Entertainment System Is Down,' Sofia Coppola's next film and a mermaid story with Oscar-winner Mikey Madison. The 'Interview With the Vampire' star's highest-grossing film is 2007's 'Spider-Man 3,' which earned $892 million worldwide. Dunst will appear next in Derek Cianfrance's crime romp 'Roofman,' alongside actor Channing Tatum. A sequel to 'A Minecraft Movie,' Warner Bros.' third-largest opening of all time, has not been confirmed, but director Jared Hess told Deadline that he is open to diving into the world of 'Minecraft' again.

Kirsten Dunst reveals fans have been saying her name wrong for years but doesn't care
Actress Kirsten Dunst has revealed that for years, people have been mispronouncing her name, even to her face, as she revealed how it should be said Kirsten Dunst 's name has been mispronounced for years, she has revealed. The actress said the mispronunciation has been going on throughout her entire career, as she revealed how people should really say it. The American-German star, 43, has said that people in the United Kingdom have been the worst at saying her name incorrectly since she made her acting debut in the movie New York Stories. However, despite people getting her name wrong, Kirsten admits she doesn't blame people too much. Over the years, she's had people pronounce her name as Criss-ten, Ker-stin and Keer-sten. But while she may have appeared annoyed about it, she says it's "fine" and doesn't really care whether people get it right or not. In a new interview, she has revealed how to properly say her name. "I mean, everyone messes up my name, so I give up," she said. Kirsten went on to add: "I don't care... I don't blame people. Like in England, they don't really say my name right." Speaking to Town and Country Magazine, Kirsten said: "The last set, everyone was saying my name wrong. There was like Swedish people and people from Hungary. You just give up." Revealing how to say her name properly, she said it is pronounced Keer-sten, before adding: "Again, who cares? It's fine." In the same interview, the Civil War actress revealed one of her sons had a serious health scare while she was filming her latest film in Budapest. The 43-year-old actress and her husband Jesse Plemons had initially rented a house in the city with their sons Ennis, seven, and James, four, while she was filming The Entertainment System Is Down, but their plans had to change when their youngest boy fell very ill. While Kirsten declined to share any details but stressed everyone is fine now, Jesse, 37, and the boys returned to Los Angeles, leaving the Virgin Suicides star alone in Budapest for months, a situation she compared to the movie Final Destination. She explained to Town and Country magazine: "Where you're imagining all the things that could go wrong, worst case scenarios happening to your child. I have never seen that movie. But I know the concept. That's how it feels to be a mother at times.' Despite the stressful time for them all, Kristen admitted James' health issues "brought us together as a family in such a deeper way.' And soon, the family are heading for the Bahamas after promising to take their sons on vacation 'anywhere James wanted to go.' The youngster told his parents: 'I want to go to a beach where my sandcastle won't wash away.' The Power of the Dog actress can next be seen in Roofman, and though she is delighted with the movie, she couldn't help but check her phone during one screening as she wanted to keep an eye on her family. She admitted: 'I wanted to make sure everything was okay." Despite her years of Hollywood success, Kirsten insisted her life isn't as glamorous as people might think. She laughed: "I drive a Volvo with two car seats in the back. It's our adult car. [Jesse drives] his family's old Lexus - with no car seats." Kirsten previously admitted she rarely gets any time to herself as a result of having two young children. She told People magazine: "When everyone is asleep, and I can watch the shows I want like The Bachelor. But honestly not even a shower is sacred at this point. Nothing is." The Virgin Suicides star added when asked to describe her last "perfect" day off: "When you have two kids, you never have a day off. Right now it's being on a plane with no Wi-Fi. And people bring you food. That feels like a spa day for a mom."
