But it's gotta be weird to be in a situation where you get hired for your talents and to run a set and you've got studio heads nitpicking on scenes, etc. So hiring of the young indie directors is not trying to give dudes a chance at a cheap price but to basically have workmen directors that are yes men?

Reason I was overjoyed Rian got the nod for Episode 2 is that with his fantastic genre work and presumably darker slant = possibility for greatness. If he's just there to fetch Kathy coffee...what's the point? Might as well upgrade a director of commercials then.

The thing is that heavy studio interference is why Marvel* and by extension Disney/Lucasfilm will never make a BAD movie...but why it probably will never make a GREAT one either, nahmean?


*not saying that they don't have their fair share of absolutely forgettable films. Was it here that asked if anyone remembers what happened in those first two Thor flicks? LOL.
