Milla Jovovich 'cried over Stone role'

Milla Jovovich has said that she cried when she was offered her role in Stone.

The actress, who stars opposite Robert De Niro and Edward Norton in the upcoming psychological thriller, said that the opportunity to work with such screen legends caused her to become emotional.

She told the New York Post: "I cried when they told me I'd got it. I was so happy that I was able to share more with these two icons."

Jovovich said of the film: "You don't get scripts like this every day.

"I get to do my little comedies, my big action films, but this movie is very special... There were quite a few days on set that I wouldn't bring my baby and I'd come home in tears, it was so intense."
