LONDON ¨C Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne said on Sunday that Hollywood¡¯s campaign for gender equality had been ¡°a long time coming¡± and that a ¡°huge amount of change¡± was still needed.
Speaking on the red carpet at the world premiere of his new animated film ¡°Early Man,¡± the British star was asked about reports of a significant pay gap between Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Williams for reshoots on ¡°All the Money in the World.
¡°It¡¯s incredibly important and I think that it¡¯s been a long time coming, and I think the fact that last year three of the top films were female-led films is showing there is change but there is a huge amount of change needed yet. It¡¯s sort of systemic I think,¡± Redmayne said.
Redmayne and ¡°Game of Thrones¡± star Maisie Williams play alongside Tom Hiddleston in a new prehistoric-era adventure about inept cavemen from Oscar-winning director Nick Park.
Williams, who has read the scripts for the final season of ¡°Game of Thrones,¡± told fans it would be worth the wait for the much-anticipated finale.
¡°It¡¯s going to be very very good, and it¡¯s not going to come out for another year because it just takes long to make these incredible episodes that we¡¯re doing and I am just so proud of the work everyone¡¯s putting in this year. And honestly we have never done anything like this, it¡¯s very special so it takes time but it¡¯ll be worth it,¡± she said.
