10 Actors Who BLAMED Fans For Films Failing
6. Brie Larson - A Wrinkle In Time
Captain Marvel actress Brie Larson is famously outspoken and often combative when it comes to representation in Hollywood which, while undoubtedly a noble cause, is a double-edged sword in these particular hands.
Adapting Madeleine L'Engle's 1962 book "A Wrinkle In Time" with an all star cast including Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Chris Pine, Disney sought their next smash hit.
Met as it was with poor sales and mostly negative reviews, this movie was anything but a success.
Into the fray steps Brie Larson (who had nothing to do with the film, incidentally).
Attempting to blame the failure of A Wrinkle In Time on - you guessed it - white men, Larson actually ended up making the opposite point by accident.
“I don’t need a 40-year-old white dude to tell me what didn’t work... It wasn’t made for him! I want to know what it meant to women of colour, biracial women, to teen women of colour.”
By vehemently arguing that the movie was made specifically for more minority audiences while simultaneously acknowledging its dreadful showing at the box office, is Larson not in essence pointing the finger of blame at those for whom the movie WAS actually intended?
Way to alienate fans, Brie...
