Jurassic World was a dealt a pretty serious blow early on in its marketing campaign when Universal unveiled a clip from the action-adventure blockbuster that many, including Avengers director Joss Whedon, accused of sexism toward star Bryce Dallas Howard. Now, director Colin Trevorrow is tackling the controversy head on.
Talking to Bad Taste, the helmer was asked about his thoughts on Whedon’s reaction, which was encapsulated in a tweet reading, “I’m too busy wishing this clip wasn’t 70’s era sexist. She’s a stiff, he’s a life-force – really? Still?” Trevorrow told the Italian site that he did see the comment, and he had a mixed reaction:
“I wasn’t bothered by what he said about the movie and, to be honest, I don’t totally disagree with him. I wonder why [Universal] chose a clip like that, that shows an isolated situation within a movie that has an internal logic.
