Yet, that's what studios do. If one thing works, they'll keep doing it till it runs its course and people aren't interested anymore. ↗

Last year, when 'Black Swan,' 'True Grit' and 'King's Speech' all grossed over $100 million, it gave studios and independent financiers the confidence to make daring movies and not do the same old you-know-what. ↗

Maybe studios don't want to see women acting in a way that isn't womanly. Maybe people don't. ↗
