"This is powerful proof that audiences want to see everyone represented on screen," said Pascal. "Decision-makers in Hollywood need to pay attention to this."
Great news. Some fab films being made, low budget and big studio that no longer have to rely on the white/straight/male staple.
Not that your classic bloke films haven't their place, natch. It's just that there's so much room for everyone else, now.
