THELMA & LOUISE: Callie Khouri’s Feminist Fever Dream and the Movie Ridley Scott Almost Didn’t Direct

Hollywood Gold

Producer and writer Callie Khouri takes us on the journey from script to screen of the beloved film Thelma and Louise. Equal parts inspiration (the story in its entirety just popped into her head one day), great timing (Ridley Scott was suddenly available to direct), and integrity (Callie refused to change the ending regardless of studio notes), the film is a remarkable success story that marks the revolutionary reinvention of female characters on screen.
