Barbara Broccoli Would Consider Female Directors for ‘Bond 25’
With this morning’s news that Lucasfilm has its eye on J.J. Abrams to return and complete the new Star Wars trilogy after Colin Trevorrow’s exit, the question still remains: Will another studio ever hire a female director to helm a movie in one of their huge franchises? Patty Jenkins did pretty well for herself with Wonder Woman, and Captain Marvel will be co-directed by a man and a woman, but so far none of the other franchises have decided to — and I’m using sarcasm here — take such a big risk. With the twenty-fifth James Bond movie on the horizon, will the studio go with a female director for the first time? Producer Barbara Broccoli says anything is possible.
