When asked the question about whether the Fifty Shades of Grey movie would be the best or worst thing to happen to women in film the panelists remained predominantly silent. Amy Miles simply shrugged and smiled, while Vanessa Morrison also dodged the questions saying she just worked in animation.

Geena Davis admitted she was ‘speechless’ while Paul Feig joked he’s direct it but admitted he hasn’t read it. The only person to properly response was Nina Jacobson who said: ‘Female desire is a very complex subject.’
