Like many personalities, Eva Longoria recently put down her suitcases on the Croisette for the 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. An event during which the one who slipped into the skin of Gabrielle Solis for a long time in the American television series, Desperate Housewives, took part in a discussion on the place of women in cinema, the Women in Motion. In full promotion of his latest film project, Flamin’ Hotthe star confided in particular on the many difficulties she has encountered as a director.
“When was the last blockbuster directed by a person of South American origin? It was 20 years ago. You can’t just have one movie every 20 years. […] The problem is that if my film fails, in Hollywood they will be like, ‘Oh, Latino stories don’t work… and the directors don’t know how to deal with it.’ So we don’t really have the right to a second chance. A white man can flop 200 million and do it again, not me. That is the problem. I’ll only have one chance to make it.” she said. Words that elicited strong reactions.

Visibly admiring the 48-year-old American actress, director, producer, screenwriter and model, Nawell Madani did not hesitate to pin her punchline: “A white man can make a $200 million movie, screw up, and make another one; I only get one shot.” “You still have a chance to make a 200 million dollar film. Strength and honor Eva Longoria”, she commented.
Should we conclude that the series So far, so good available on Netflix didn’t cost that much? Probably. One thing is certain, given the quality of his latest project, Nawell Madani would work miracles with 200 million.
