If that script is potent , and if the docket align , Robbie is expected to star in the motion-picture show .
Unlike the much - discussedLord of the Fliesreboot(which has a female cast but male person behind - the - view endowment ) , it ’s refreshing to pick up that this feminist moving-picture show will really be produced , directed , and compose by woman . If Banks and Robbie can pull out it off , this could well become a defining pouf tale film , offering a winning choice to the clichéd demoiselle in distress narrative . If all go well , this movie could revolutionise and endow a genesis of unseasoned women , as well as offer some engaging amusement .
Of course , the film would gather a fortune of promotional material if Robbie did mavin in it . There are n’t many stars of her order of magnitude on the circuit at the minute , and Robbie ’s comportment in poster and poke would do a tidy sum to earn hype . However , her docket is packed already : as well as various DC projects ( she ’s beenlinked withSuicide Squad 2 , Gotham City Sirensand a Harley Quinn / Joker spinoff ) , she also hasMary Queen Of Scotson her slate , and is reportedlycircling Quentin Tarantino ’s Manson family picture show .

That motion picture is expected to be a asterisk - studded affair , as well , withKristen Stewart and Lupita Nyong’o linkedto the labor . The Paper Bag Princesswill have to look its turn in both Banks and Robbie ’s slates , then .
