I know people were wondering how come some of the films like Wanted, Senator's Wife etc. have not come to see the light of day yet. Well I ran across this where it says Warner Bros president of production Jeff Robinov will no longer greenlight films with women as the lead because they don't bring back revenue.

Wanted was definitely a Warner Bros. project. Can't say for the rest of them but Jennifer was suppose to be producing a few but we have not heard anything more since then. If this if his mentality whose to say that it's not the mentality of other studios. Actresses already have a hard time in Hollywood as they are very much under paid next to their male counterparts, and film roles become limited as women get older, but to have this also is frustrating. Maybe not at Universal at least. Jennifer has done several Universal films and I noticed that Scott Stuber and Mary Parent are getting these films produced. Maybe there should be more females than males up there in the executive offices. |

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! Tell me I'm not reading this right.
Quote: This Neanderthal thinking comes after both Jodie Foster's The Brave One (even though she's had big recent hits with Flightplan and Panic Room) and Nicole Kidman's The Invasion (as if three different directors didn't have something to do with the awfulness of the gross receipts) under-performed at the box office recently.
Yeah, why on Earth would a person think the movies failed because women were leads?
They gotta be kidding. Seriously, it has to be a joke. What the hell.
Quote: If that studio confirms that their policy is to now exclude women as leads, then my policy would be to boycott films made by Warner Bros.
Mine too. |

Funny that the WB exec should say this when out in theaters right now is a WB movie doing very poorly to say the least, helmed by a high profile actor. |

What the f*ck?
I didn't read the article, but the quotes posted here were enough for me, this man has no sense of reality, no sense...I'm speechless, seriously!
Warner Bros is falling big and now women are blammed? It made me laugh, laugh hard. |

It's not about who wrote the article or how it was written, it's about the fact that supposedly you have a head of a major studio saying he is not going to greenlight anymore films with women as the leads because it does not bring back revenue. If this is true, Wanted is impacted by this since it was definitely a Warner Bros. project and it would explain why it has not been made yet.
Quote: Can�t he think that the movies are doing bad because they are lame or because the promotion is not good enough?? I mean, probably.
Of course not, especially if he thinks everything else involved with making the movie was good. There are plenty of likable actresses that people will go see, they just have to be cast and Hollywood come up with more original screenplays. |

If they were living in the "new world" they would realize it just might be a sign they NEED more new ideas and people - including female actresses, producers, directors and writers - getting movies made and promoted to bring a freshness to it all. |
