Rod Lurie used to be the feminist guy in Hollywood. No more. He had good credentials. He was the guy who brought us the first potential female Vice President on film in
The Contender (which
I recently saw again and still love), and did bring us the
first female President on TV in
Commander in Chief and has an upcoming film
Nothing but the Truth based on the Judith Miller saga. BUT now he goes ahead and creates a show for Showtime
Hilary Jones about a LA vice cop who moonlights on the weekend as a legal prostitute in Nevada. Double yuck.
He knows he's in trouble with the women when he gave this quote:
"I hope it doesn't obliterate my credentials with women," he quipped about "Hilary Jones." "I imagine feminists will have us in their cross hairs, but once they see it, they will realize it is very warm and humanizing." (Hollywood Reporter)
Note to Rod: Credentials officially obliterated.
