The Hollywood star said he wants to steer clear of mainstream commercial films because the financial demands were too intense.
Farrell is quoted as saying: "If you are on a film such as Miami Vice or Alexander that has a budget that is healthily north of $100 million (£50 million) you can pretend that it's all about the work but there's a certain amount of pressure."
He added: "You have decided to walk into a world where the most important thing is financial return and you are going to get a call on Saturday telling you what the Friday opening was.
"I've been on the receiving end of a couple of those calls and it's horsesh**t. I don't want to play in that world anymore."
