I’m always ready to say, “No, I’d rather not do it that way.
#BIRDS OF PREY HUNTRESS MAGIC 8 BALL MOVIE#
I was telling this to Jurnee the other day, I said, “I didn’t realize until I did this movie what a defense I’ve had up my whole career.” I always walk into a situation on a set or in a casting room with my defenses up a little bit, ready for a polite fight. And usually those discussions in my case have been very friendly and easy, but I’m always ready for them. There’s always a discussion that needs to be had in terms of why they’re not really seeing your point of view. But even the talented and thoughtful men are not women, you know what I mean? And so the men that I’ve worked with have certainly been lovely and great men and talented and thoughtful. I’ve been very lucky, I’ve worked with wonderful people throughout my career. Tell me more about the difference between “Birds of Prey” and your experience on those films?
You’ve been in a lot of male-dominated action movies. So it was a really liberating experience. How there were all of these little barriers to break through in terms of communication that aren’t there anymore when you’re surrounded by women who see you and understand you for who you are. So to come into a set and have it be the opposite of that, I think you realize how hindered you were before. You know, I think we were all really familiar with what that experience feels like. I think we all bonded, all the cast on this, over the fact that we’ve all been doing this for a really long time, and the experience we’re most familiar with is the one of being the only woman in the room. But it also makes you realize how little you’ve ever experienced that before. Just stepping onto the film set and realizing how liberating it was to be surrounded by so many women in positions of power was an incredible feeling. “Birds of Prey” has nearly all women leads, a woman director, a woman screenwriter, women producers - does the industry feel different from how it did a few years ago?Ībsolutely. It was really difficult, that’s for sure. It’s been 10 years!” But thankfully, it all came fairly naturally to me. I was thinking, “Oh, yeah, I’ve done this before! I’ve got this!” And then I was like, “Wait a second. It was kind of crazy to think that it had been that long since I had done any real sort of martial arts, physical training. Did you think back to your fight training for that movie during “Birds of Prey”?Ībsolutely. And she’s also so lovely and sweet and endearing and vulnerable. Whether she’s in a good mood, a bad mood - whatever’s going on, she’s a blast. Anytime I can hang out with Rosie Perez is a good day! Once we started really getting to do scenes together - fight scenes together, and training together - it’s such a fantastic group. She’s a bit of a loner, and the closer that she comes to the other women in the film, the more fun I had.
