JASON BLUM APOLOGIZES FOR REMARKS ON FEMALE DIRECTORS: Blumhouse Productions‘ Jason Blum is apologizing for claiming that a woman has never directed one of his films because “there are not a lot of female directors period, and even less who are inclined to do horror.” Blum’s mea culpa on Twitter: “Thank you everyone for calling me out on my dumb comments in that interview. I made a stupid mistake. I spoke too quickly about a serious issue-an issue I am passionate about.” He added: “We have not done a good enough job working with female directors and it is not because they don’t exist. I heard from many today. The way my passion came out was dumb. And for that I am sorry. I will do better.”
