Emma Thompson criticises grey pound films for older audiences Making films that specifically target older people is a mistake, according to Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson. Many studios have tried to capitalise on the success of films like Calendar Girls and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, both of which had older casts. But Thompson told BBC Radio 4s Front Row that separating audiences into groups was a mistake culturally, artistically and economically. The actress appeared on the show to promote her new film, The Love Punch. The film, which co-stars Pierce Brosnan and Celia Imrie, has a slightly older cast than a typical Hollywood blockbuster, but Thompson said it aimed to entertain everybody. This film isnt for older people, that would be a tragic mistake to indicate that we were making this for older people, she said. bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-26971676
