Emily Blunt Lets Her Actions And Characters Do The Talking

Instead of having nights that celebrate women in Hollywood, we should organize programs where you pay for female writers to develop their skills. Blunt's skills are prominently on display in "Sicario," a drug war thriller directed by Denis Villeneuve that's among the films competing in Cannes for the Palme d'Or. The performance in Sicario has put Blunt among the women who have defined this year's Cannes Film Festival, from Cate Blanchett in the '50s lesbian drama Carol to Charlize Theron in the dystopian drag race Mad Max: [...] the reality from the FBI agents that I spoke to, there's a lot of chicks in law enforcement. The 32-year-old Blunt, who's married to actor John Krasinski, hesitated at tackling the grim, brutal tale of "Sicario" (which translates as "hitman"). Villeneuve, the Quebecois director of "Prisoners" and "Incendies," met with the British actress four week after she gave birth to her daughter. The film follows another tough warrior Blunt has played: her elite soldier of 2014's sci-fi action film "Edge of Tomorrow."
