&gt; I wanted to do normal, strong women, not Hollywood big boobs and blond hair and speaking the latest teen slang. I wanted someone who you could picture living next door to you who has that strength of character.<p>That&#x27;s interesting cause I actually think these &quot;strong women&quot; are as unrealistic as the dummy big boob bimbo and not at all a reflection of the girl living next door.  And to be clear, same for male characters.<p>Do you really think the girl living next door would handle everything the main character of Scream goes through?<p>I&#x27;m perfectly fine with female main characters going through a ton of shit and being the hero, but don&#x27;t make the mistake of thinking that they are a reflection of the day to day girl next door.  And again, same comment for the guy next door.
