Both are actually ensemble films. <BR/><BR/>Wonder Women will be the only female hero in a team of, what, 7 JLAers? And "Silk Spectre leads Alan Moore's Watchmen"? Really? I would've said it was Rorsharch. But still, one female hero amongst a ensemble cast of about 6.<BR/><BR/>"Action features starring women remain a hard sell for many moviegoers."<BR/><BR/>Oh dear. So not shitty scripts, crap direction or lack of funds then?S Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356657498264383431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-27139610291551032372007-10-09T19:47:00.000-04:002007-10-09T19:47:00.000-04:00Generous, aren't they?--SandicommGenerous, aren't they?<BR/><BR/>--SandicommAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-66927688998105008852007-10-09T12:25:00.000-04:002007-10-09T12:25:00.000-04:00wow.that just changes everything.I take it all bac...wow.<BR/><BR/>that just changes everything.<BR/><BR/>I take it all back.Micklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634363950848962653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-8066544026754644092007-10-09T10:19:00.000-04:002007-10-09T10:19:00.000-04:00I was right - four.And one is a sequel to The Sist...I was right - <A HREF="http://www.conditionalaxe.com/2007/10/warner-bros-films-slated-for-2008.html" REL="nofollow">four</A>.<BR/><BR/>And one is a sequel to <I>The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants</I>Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807329346289420791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-51793916757912355432007-10-09T09:25:00.000-04:002007-10-09T09:25:00.000-04:00at least three.There might even be four.<I>at least</I> three.<BR/><BR/>There might even be four.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807329346289420791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-91595367242327153792007-10-08T21:24:00.000-04:002007-10-08T21:24:00.000-04:00omg.three.

(19 if you take out the "indie" films they made.)<BR/><BR/>Assuming a similar number this coming year, that means that, by their own count, barely more than 10% (15% if they aren't counting "indies") of their films feature female leads "and casts".<BR/><BR/>(yeah, as if an ensemble cast that include women is the same as having a female lead.)<BR/><BR/>And that's an adequate answer to the question?!?!<BR/><BR/>as if.Micklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634363950848962653noreply@blogger.com
