Beckinsale wants a director’s gender to be the least interesting thing about them.
Beckinsale, on the other hand, hopes that one day we won’t have to be in awe of a female director taking on a project such as this. “I’m all about as many [women] being involved as possible,” she said. “I have to say I don't think that gender has a lot to do with whether you're a good director or a bad director. I know it always comes up quite a lot with this because it's an action heroine which used to be unusual but is now less unusual. I'm hoping in a few years the conversation about female directors being unusual will be slightly less unusual too.”
