In fact the new one location thriller I’m working on has a female lead.

There has always been a shortage of well written scripts with female protagonists but yet there are lots of excellent actresses looking for work and these movies can do well at the box office, too. I think this is a trend worth paying attention to.

The one that I’m really, really jazzed about is one you might call a “passion project” — it bears little resemblance to anything I’ve ever seen and that’s part of the reason I’m excited about it, but it’s gonna be a tough sell.

I’m not really worrying about that just yet, but it’ll have to matter at some point.
