![]() ![]() Since your nieces inspired Bumblebee‘s Charlie Watson, I assume/hope you didn’t have a family member who helped inspire Harley? Let’s do it.” We’ve been working on it ever since then. We just had a real meeting of the minds, and as soon as she mentioned the idea of this movie that she wanted to do, I was like, “Yes, please. I think you’ll like each other.” So we went for a coffee, and we fell in love. She and I met because we have the same wonderful agent, Ida Ziniti, at CAA. Obviously, the studio did, but they’re not well-known characters. She wanted to do a girl gang, Harley and the Birds of Prey movie even though people didn’t know who the Birds of Prey really were. Obviously, that was a bold idea because Suicide Squad hadn’t even come out yet. Margot pitched the idea of doing this movie to the studio in the summer of 2015. I was surprised to learn that you and Margot started brainstorming for this project while Suicide Squad was still shooting. So we knew from Day One that we just wanted to do a Harley story with no Joker. Honestly, Margot said it well the other day that Harley is an all-or-nothing kind of person. There was no point where he was ever involved, right? Thank you for leaving Joker out of this movie. ![]() ![]() In a recent conversation with THR, Hodson also discusses how she first joined forces with Margot Robbie, the latest on Batgirl and The Flash and her writers program with Robbie. “At this point, this was before Deadpool existed, and we just thought it was a fun, cool, weird way of telling a story through Harley’s lens.” “The VO was something that was there from very, very early, and again, we wanted to do something fresh and different that we hadn’t seen before,” Hodson explains. Robbie also previously appeared in two films that broke the fourth wall, 2013’s The Wolf of Wall Street and 2015’s The Big Short, in which Robbie broke the fourth wall as herself. In fact, the producing partners began work on Birds of Prey in 2015, while 2016’s Suicide Squad was still shooting. As it turns out, Hodson and Robbie scripted Harley’s fourth-wall breaks well before 2016’s Deadpool was even released. So yeah, it had to go in there.”īecause Harley Quinn breaks the fourth wall in her own R-rated superhero romp, Birds of Prey has been compared to Deadpool even though plenty of genre films have used the convention long before Ryan Reynolds’ pair of films. “My sister and I always joke about the fact that women in superhero movies … are always going into battle or doing this big, crazy, epic thing with beautiful flowing hair perfectly quaffed, when both of us wouldn’t even consider eating a sandwich with our hair untied. “My sister did inspire the hair tie moment, which, apparently, people seem to like on the internet,” Hodson tells The Hollywood Reporter. ![]()
