If it was a male director it might be a nonstory, however as a result of it’s a feminine director …. I’m sorry, it’s simply unsuitable.
Maggie’s film is punk rock. It’s enjoyable. It’s daring. It’s received Christian Bale. It’s received Jesse Buckley. It’s received a number of ensemble casts and Mike and I consider in her wholeheartedly. There’s been all this noise in regards to the movie, and nobody has seen it but. We simply want folks would enable these filmmakers to make their movies, to have them come out and let audiences see them. In the event that they don’t work, superb. If we took a swing and we miss that’s honest sport. However I don’t know why they’re so centered on Maggie. I do really feel it’s a little bit about her gender — I’ve to be trustworthy.”
