Jodie Foster thinks Hollywood has a "problem" when it comes to female directors. The 55-year-old actress and filmmaker has explained that she has a passion for directing that she wishes to continue with, but has slammed America and Hollywood for not hiring more women in directorial roles. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Foster said: "I said it and I'll keep saying it - I want to direct. And I will direct more than I acted. Europe has always been ahead. It's America that's the problem, and it has been for a very long time. We need to bang the head of America to let them know that it needs female directors. Just look at the success of 'Wonder Woman'."
