“It's a fact, the majority of films in Hollywood are from the male perspective. And the female characters, very rarely do they get to speak to another female character in a movie, and when they do it's usually about a guy, not anything else. So they're very male-centric, Hollywood films, in general. So I think it's incredible that Ned Benson, when I said I'd love to know where she goes, says okay, I'm going to write another film from the female perspective.” ThinkingKnowsWritingSaidCharacterFactsFilmGuySpeakPerspectiveFemaleOkayHollywoodMajorityMalesIncrediblesFemale CharactersHollywood Films Author:Jessica Chastain
