Academy Award winner Witherspoon, also one of the film's
producers, plays an uptight police officer who has to protect
the more outgoing widow of a drug boss, played by Colombian-born
Vergara.-
"It's not just that it's better, you know? It's just that it's
comfortable," Vergara said at the film's premiere on Thursday
night, when asked about having more women involved in a
production.
"We all were taking care of each other like 'Oh you need to sit
straight because your dress is not looking good'. You know
(with) things like that that (as) girls we're always like
watching (out) for each other."
Witherspoon has been vocal about the empowerment of women in
Hollywood. She has been quoted as saying she began her
production company after she saw "six of my favorite actresses
fighting over a really crappy role".
"It's an easier kind of communication working with just women,"
Witherspoon said at the premiere. "We have just a kind of a
short hand. We think the same things are funny. It's also we
just enjoy the process, it's fun.""Hot Pursuit" is scheduled for
U.S. release on May 8.
