"It's hard to get male movie stars to make rom-coms," the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star said on the show. "As long as we can get more Marvel guys to like, you know, 'Hey, come to a rom-com!', I think that that's a big part of the formula too." Panelist Sara Haines then asked about the "misstep" between male actors and the appeal of romantic comedies, to which Hudson replied, "I think it's about the writing, and how we're investing in telling the story of the writing and the directors." "If you look at the classic rom-coms or movies that last forever — 'cause they do, they're the ones that last forever; people go back and back — they had the best writers," she added as she named the late Nora Ephron as an example. "So it's more about how the studios are investing in the talents," Hudson said. Close
