The question is what the two discussed, beyond Goonies and adventure movies, but as Reed Morano told The Hollywood Reporter, she can’t talk about it.
There have been calls for Lucasfilm to let a female director tackle a Star Wars film, a possibility that Kathleen Kennedy has been open to.
The Disney brand at large has had success with hiring up-and-coming filmmakers or directors from the TV world to helm its biggest projects.
I don’t know whether Kathleen Kennedy initially thought Reed was a guy or not, but I imagine she was pleasantly surprised to find out that Reed is a woman.
