The death and rebirth of Hollywood is upon us. Opportunities exist in every sector of the industry. There really is no greater time—wherever you live in the world—to be in film and television. BUT it’s time to innovate and hustle. – Richard Janes, Medium. More:
Films from the oft-mythologized pre-Hays Code era (1929 to 1934) are known for their raunchiness, playfulness, and violence – and for a shockingly honest depiction of American life. – Elena Nicolaou, REFINERY29. More:
More than a dozen female superhero film projects are in the pipeline from Sony, Fox, Disney’s Marvel Studios and Warner Bros. The wave of female heroes extends to television and Hollywood’s new high-profile streaming site launches as well. More:
In 2017 women had 31.8% of speaking roles in movies, fewer than they did a decade ago. Hiring more female directors and writing in more female speaking roles would help the inclusion crisis. – Shannon Carlin, Bustle. More:
Frances Marion wrote 300+ scripts for stars like Greta Garbo, Lillian Gish and Marion Davies, and was the first Allied woman to cross the Rhine in WW1. More:
The trend of the female monster began with Greek and Roman legend, where female monsters were either temptresses or vile beasts stripped of any sympathy. Consider the legend of Medusa, the original monster girl. – Kate Gardner, The Mary Sue. More:
Only 3% of 2018 film releases by the six major Hollywood studios are directed by women – the lowest percentage in five years. Amy Adrion’s crowd-funded documentary “Half the Picture” examines gender-based discrimination and hiring practices in Hollywood. It features Ava DuVernay (A Wrinkle in Time), Lena Dunham (Girls), Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight), Patricia Cardoso (Real Women Have Curves) and Jill Soloway. – Brandy McDonnell, AWFJ. More:
Ann Hornaday’s voice in film criticism illustrates that the best writing about films and Hollywood takes into account how men and women are treated differently, and shows why film criticism needs a more balanced approach — not only for the sake of women but also for the industry itself. – Sasha Stone, WMC.

Thelma turns to Louise. “Something’s crossed over in me . . . and I can’t go back.” The road has awakened her. Road movies showcase an attempt to get outside the status quo of mainstream, conventional culture. – Laura Feinstein, Salon. More:
