    Award-Winning Filmmaker Nina Lee Highlights Biases in 2026’s Hollywood as Her Film’s Future Hangs on ‘You, Me & Tuscany’s’ Success


    Per TheWrap,

    She also cited TheWrap’s coverage of the 2025 ReFrame Report, which reported a backsliding in the hiring of women for key roles among Hollywood’s top films this last year. WIF CEO Kirsten Schaffer sounded off on the stark decline, noting the report’s findings “point to a significant divestment in women-led projects — creating a narrowing pipeline of opportunities for women and gender-diverse people across the industry.”

      I am really crossing my fingers it is successful. It is by time we had Rom Coms with Black Leads! The typical white couple who falls in love starts to get stale and boring.

      Me and my group of girls are planning to see it several times! We want it to do well in the UK and plan to do our bit to help

      We as a people need to spread the word and be in the streets the same way we were for sinners last year. Different genre exact same yt folks that need a lesson in underestimating us.

      This is crazy. We had The Best Man,  Love & Basketball, Brown Sugar, Think Like a Man, and so many others that did relatively well commercially in the 90s and early 2000s. What changed?

      I’m so excited to see this movie! I can’t wait to see Rege Jean Page again in a romantic lead role and I love Halle Bailey. It also just looks so damn cute and fun.

      Hollywood functions in so opposite of a manner than most other businesses. Organizations often prioritize projects that capture underserved markets and solve problems that other companies aren’t going after. Insane that movies need to be Exactly The Same to be picked up. Although if the goal of a studio is propaganda & getting lobbyist $$, which it often is, I can see why they don’t care about anything else.

      I would love to see more rom coms in theaters again so I hope it does well but it looks like a bad Netflix movie.

      It looks like the cutest rom com to come out in a verrrrry long time, I’m looking forward to it.

      I hope it does well! It looks super cute and I may try to go see it in the theatre (it’s just so expensive😭). Sometimes you just needs cute little romcom.

      Oh I’m clearly in the minority here because my first thought was “too bad the movie looks like shit” … like a step above a Noah Centineo Netflix movie

      I’m genuinely curious for the people who say this looks “bad” – what does a “good” rom-com look like?

      I will be supporting this in theaters multiple times, but I feel like at some point there was a shift in media and now people just undermine and condescend about the romance genre. What is the difference that makes current rom-coms “bad”???

      I have watched probably every romcom that was in theaters from the 1980s to 2010s. *You, Me, and Tuscany* has the same right to be a theatrical release as *You’ve Got Mail,* *When Harry Met Sally,* *How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,* *Failure to Launch,* *Love and Basketball,* and more.

      I’m very excited to watch this one opening weekend.

      It’s so weird that execs base their judgement on a success of a single movie… when in comes to minorities or unusual concepts. Like they have no problem greenlighting 2-3 Peter Pan adaptations in a row, or dozen superhero movies (despite them not being so hot anymore). But when it’s a black-led romcom or female heroine in sci-fi – it’s always ‘either this one thing succeeds or we are not doing anything like this ever’.

      It’s just not right. ‘That one thing’ could just be a bad movie (book, game, etc), that doesn’t mean that there’s no market for similar better things.

      Anyone But You proved that women desperately want our genres back. I feel like online discourse in the mid 2010s convinced studios that women only want to see female action heroes, space wizards, astronauts, warriors etc when I’m sorry but all I want is my romcoms, romantic dramas and cute teen girl coming of age movies back. They are SO cheap to make. Why are the wasting 200 million dollars on a Captain Marvel movie that I have zero interest in when they could have made 20 romance-focused movies that would get my attention
