    Forget female actresses playing the supporting role of ‘Bond girl’, now women are finally being considered for the part of Bond himself (we’re voting for Gillian Anderson), with strong women taking the cinematic lead.

    To celebrate these women who are paving the way in the film industry, here’s a shortlist of this year’s upcoming female-led films. We absolutely (ahem) cannot wait…

    Ghostbusters
    July 15th 2016

    Despite the naysayers, Ghostbusters promises to instil some serious girl power into the world of film. The highly anticipated supernatural comedy stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate Mckinnon – even getting the seal of approval from the original Ghostbusters cast. This is going to be hilarious.

    The girl on the train
    October 7th 2016

    Following the success of Gone Girl, David Fincher is treating us to yet another thriller. The girl on the train trails the life of Rachel Watson, played by Emily Blunt, who post-divorce becomes very involved with a nearby family – until one day, the wife completely disappears. This sounds as creepy as Gone Girl
