Do You Want Sex?

Well Oscar snubbee extraordinaire does. In fact she wants it so bad she has signed up for a movie about the 1968 strike at the Ford Dagenham car plant when 850 female workers walked out in protest against sexual discrimination in their job performance evaluations.

During the protest, the strike committee was invited to tea by Barbara Castle, employment secretary in then-prime minister Harold Wilson's Labour government.
It was during that meeting that the strikers raised the issue of equal pay for the first time.

That is right performance watchers. Sally Hawkins is wanting sex! She is signed on to star in the film 'We Want Sex', and if that was not excitement enough, Imelda Staunton is in negotiations to play Castle.


Heeee

The title is a reference to a famous banner carried by the women during one march proclaiming "We Want Sex Equality." Only the 'Equality' had dropped off (that says so much, even today).

However the film is not all that serious and will be played with lashings of humor. Those two actresses have proven they do humor very very well.
Richard 'Love Actually' Curtis is helming the project.

This will most likely be due in 2010, but if it moves up, Hawkins will have 4 films opening in 2009. Shove that snub right back in their faces!
