Up until that point Collins has stated that she allowed her career to define her, and she didn't want that anymore. Collins has admitted that she did eventually fire her representation, though it took her a year to finally do it. It took like a year for me to do that, but I took a break and tried to figure out, up until then my career and my work, I really allowed it to define me.”Ĭollins has gone on to detail that while her co-star Kitsch continued to work, her agency decided to shelve her for a while due to the failure of John Carter. For Collins, this added insult to injury, as it wasn't just the film that was disappointing her anymore, it was the industry as well. This is so devastating because it wasn’t just the film disappointing me, now it was the entire industry and my representation. Like really sh–ty. Taylor went on to continue to work, he did ‘Battleship’ and other things, but basically my people shelved me for a while. “It was so indicative of that stereotypical, the woman gets the brunt. “'You’re just going to have to disappear because you’re the one who’s going to get the heat for this.'” According to Collins, the night after the premiere she was told by her manager to disappear for a while, as she was "the one who’s going to get the heat for this." When Collins asked why, she was told simply "usually that’s what happens," meaning as the female star, she will be blamed. While many of the male cast members were upset about the response to John Carter, Collins' experience nearly ended her career. Perhaps one of the most upsetting stories comes from co-star Collins who played Dejah Thoris. In a recent article from The Wrap, many cast and crew members of John Carterwere interviewed about their thoughts on the flop ten years later.
