“Hollywood is a very male business, and it has in vast portions of it - the whole action movie part of it might as well be the United States Army in 1943 in that the ethics of it are, you know, boot camp and action movies and guns and explosions and all the rest of it, and that - so that means that about 50% of the business is not only pretty much closed off to women, but women don't even wanna be in it!” KnowsWellsMeanStatesWholeMightActionUnitedUnited StatesEthicsGunHollywoodArmyMalesCampsBootsPortionsExplosionsAction MovieBoot CampUnited States Army Author:Nora Ephron

“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
