Gina Prince-Bythewood met with Jenkins a few times in the leadup to shooting her big action film “ The Old Guard.” She didn’t just help herself: She also helped clear a path for other women to get more opportunities to direct tentpole movies and has become a de facto mentor to her contemporaries. “I found myself saying, if not me, who is going to do this? And so it felt like both a personal thing, but also kind of a duty.” And so, you know, it became about something much bigger than me, even though, of course, I’m aware that it’s me,” Jenkins said. However, the movie was extremely successful and I was aware that I was not being paid on par with my peers. “I’d never, ever in my life been somebody who talks about money or would have asked for a situation like that to happen to me. As highly rated as she is, it’s not enough.” “She doesn’t waste any time insisting on being ironic or too ’s a kind of visceral honesty that, frankly, is underrated. “Everything that she does, no matter what the genre is, no matter if it’s film or if it’s television, if it’s independent or if it’s big budget, there’s always performance and there’s always wholeness and richness to the storytelling and unapologetically so,” Pascal said. It’s something that fuels and distinguishes her “Wonder Woman” films from other superhero fare. Pedro Pascal, who has also worked with Jenkins twice now, marveled at her unironic sincerity. She just has an ability to do that that’s without peer in many ways.” You have to be able to observe the people whom you’re asking to perform for you in order to key in to precisely the ways in which they need to be talked to or with to get the best from them. “And then you also have to be very quiet, observant. You have to be a multitasker par excellence,” Pine said.
“She is the embodiment of exactly what I think one needs to be a good director, which is you have to on one hand be General Patton, you have to be decisive, clear, you have to be a leader. It’s no surprise to her cast, who are resoundingly in awe of their director.
