He made matters worse by taking to Twitter to speak on behalf of all women to proclaim women don’t direct big-budget studio movies because they don’t want to. That summer Trevorrow became a popular example of white male directors who seem to get greater opportunities out of a single indie hit than filmmakers who are female and/or people of color. Trevorrow did not help matters by telling Empire that she “earned” her death “because she was a bridezilla.” Thought it made bank, critics called Jurassic World out for misogyny, citing those damn high heels and the movie’s most violent scene where a young woman is brutally killed by rampaging carnivorous dinosaurs.
