With her bonkers new movie “Cocaine Bear,” Elizabeth Banks knew she wanted “to make something muscular and masculine.” In a new interview with Variety published on Wednesday, Banks – who directed and coproduced the film about a drug-fueled bear on a killing rampage – shared how difficult it was to convince some Hollywood power players that a woman could helm such a movie. “I wanted to break down some of the mythology around what kinds of movies women are interested in making,” Banks said.
” She acknowledged that the new movie – which is based on a true story from the 1980s about a drug drop gone wrong that resulted in a bear ingesting cocaine – is “a ginormous risk,” adding that it “could be a career ender for me.” Part of the trepidation is the lackluster box office performance of original comedies, which has caused the industry to cool around the genre.
Most women I know are great coke heads.
It may have been more about her bomb when she directed the remake of Charlie’s Angels
Girls do cocaine too, fellas 🙄
Such a broken record. When this thing bombs she’s gonna blame racism or misogyny
She learned nothing, huh? 🙃
She literally does this same bs with every movie she comes out with.
She’s bad ass
I’m so sick of this victim shit. The reason some may have been hesitant to back her current project is because her last 2 directed films (Pitch Perfect 2 and Charlie’s Angels) sucked. She killed two successful franchises.
In fairness, it would be a tough sell even for Spielberg
Women in general, or just the woman who made that awful Charlie's Angels reboot?
