\n\t\u201cMeToo got killed very quickly,\u201d Cate Blanchett<\/a> reportedly said during one of the festival\u2019s Rendez-vous\u00a0conversations today in Cannes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs a result, the Oscar-winner maintained, gender imbalance is still wildly present in the industry.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m still on film sets and I do the headcount every day, and it is still\u2026there\u2019s 10 women and there\u2019s 75 men, every morning. And I love men, but what happens is the jokes become the same. And what happens is you just have to brace yourself slightly. And I\u2019m used to that, but it just gets boring. It gets boring for everybody when you walk into a homogeneous workplace. I think it has an effect on the work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe observed that while women with social currency were to voice the issue, not so for those out of the spotlight, and that points to a persistent problem.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere are a lot of people with platforms who are able to speak up with relative safety and say, \u2018This has happened to me,\u2019 and the so-called average woman on the street is saying \u2018MeToo.\u2019 Why does that get shut down? What it revealed is a systemic layer of abuse, not only in this industry but in all industries, and if you don\u2019t identify a problem, you can\u2019t solve the problem. You shut that conversation down. You can\u2019t move on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the brighter side, said Blanchett, she is encouraged by the pledge made by the big festival heads. More needs to be done, however.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was so grateful to Thierry and Alberto and Cameron and all the people who are leading the major festivals around the world [when they] signed that they would make a pledge to increase representation, because it\u2019s better for audiences when you [don\u2019t] see the same old, same old. There are extraordinary films every year in each of these festivals, but when the voices are all the same, it does become a bit beige, and I do think it has effected the programming.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to reports from the event, Blanchett also said she is \u201cabout to work with Brady Corbet on a film.\u201d Its also been reported by the InSneider that Selena Gomez is due to star in the Brutalist director\u2019s next film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cMeToo got killed very quickly,\u201d Cate Blanchett reportedly said during one of the festival\u2019s Rendez-vous\u00a0conversations today in Cannes.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":446603,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[5313,27993,183684,4279,458,146,85,46],"class_list":["post-446602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-metoo","tag-cannes","tag-cannes-2026","tag-cate-blanchett","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=446602"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446602\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/446603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=446602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=446602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=446602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
