Why directors cant direct

Needless to say, the rest of the directors in the series were all men, even though "Twilight"'s main audience is adolescent girls.

Some would argue against female directors doing comic-book action movies for all sorts of reasons, sexist or otherwise. Let's line a few of them up — and quickly shoot them down. Take a look around you next time you are at Comic-Con. There are plenty of females who will pay to see these blockbusters — just ask "Man of Steel"'s blushing female Army captain who delivers this trenchant observation: "He's kind of hot" , although the beefcake component is just one draw.

Don't they deserve to have more of a say in how these movies depict their gender, especially with that extra percentage on their side? Not so fast. Superman director Zack Snyder's wife, Deborah, might regularly act as a producer on his films. Producer Laura Ziskin may have had a great deal of influence on the first " Spider-Man " franchise whose debut featured probably the most romantic moment ever in a superhero adventure — the upside-down Spidey kiss.

But as movie historian Jeanine Basinger told me last year while discussing the new generation of female action figures in such films such as " The Hunger Games " and "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," it is important for women to be directors, because it is the director's vision that ultimately defines what you see onscreen. As she put it, "Letting woman take charge of bringing images to life onscreen will result in more living, breathing models of female behavior.

The least-informed excuse of them all. They might be big deals now, but they all got their starts in low-budget films. Why is Webb, known for his Sundance romantic comedy " Days of Summer ," any more qualified to direct a comic-book movie than female festival darlings such as Debra Granik , whose gritty " Winter's Bone " from was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar?

A major issue that is presented when an actor turns to directing is the question of ego. If being front and centre of the film is not enough, directing gives them control of the film. Sylvester Stallone taking directing duties of the Rocky series after Rocky II helped shape the public perception of him as a person. The desire for control extends so far that rumours have often circulated that Cobra was actually ghost directed by him, and not by George P Cosmatos. Adapting multiple literary classics from authors such as William Faulkner and Cormac McCarthy comes across as merely pretentious exercises in trying to remove himself from his comedic performances — an attempt to try and be taken more seriously.

It would probably help if he was good at it. As long as they shoot pictures, actors will turn to directing them. Lost River remains the most fascinating directorial debut of the decade , down to the fact that it is the last thing anyone expected from indie darling and far too handsome Ryan Gosling.

Deciding to not feature in his own film, it stars Saoirse Ronan, Christina Hendricks, Ben Mendelsohn, Matt Smith and Eva Mendes, telling the story of a single mother pulled into a dark underworld. Gunn picked up this film after being fired then quickly rehired from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Marvel Studios recently moved around some movie release dates, but Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. This sent him on a wild path in a new timeline while also exploring the vast Marvel multiverse.

By the end of the show, Loki had to deal with his and Sylvie's encounter with He Who Remains Jonathan Majors , which led to the multiverse breaking. Now, Gunn has talked about directing Loki season 2 since the show's previous director, Kate Herron, is stepping down. The tweet that Gunn responded to was from a fan asking if he would take the job. She Has a Point. Superhero costumes, since they are derived from comic books aren't exactly functional. Watching a bunch of actors stuffing themselves in spandex while calling scenes can be particularly distracting if that kind of thing is a mental blockage for you.

Besides, why don't we have more superheroes in boxy outfits? Must they all be so fit and clad in clingy costumes?
