After wondering, way back in 2009, whether the Twilight movies might mean more films oriented at women, it seems we might be getting there. In a couple of pieces over at The Guardian is seems the mainstream media might be catching on to it as well.
In the first, Anne Billson admits that while the critics may be lining up to pan the latest Twilight film, it does seem to be a harbinger of the rise of films with women in the lead for a change.
In the second, Issy Sampson provides a run down of some of the upcoming movies to feature female leads and seems to like the fact that they aren’t rom-coms, but rather more action movies. I’d have to say that Haywire appears to tread a well-worn path of the female assassin (only avoiding the usual cheese by the looks of it), but the others definitely look to provide some great stories and unique twists as well.
