How does he still have a career?


His projects are mediocre at best and rarely make money. He's a known dirtbag as well - so what gives?

"Many of the ex-friends, colleagues, and girlfriends that spoke to The Daily Beast for this piece stressed the role that Landis’s careful cultivation of acquaintances played in his alleged pattern of predation. Landis’s wealth and family connections were certainly tools in his arsenal, but so was the friend group he kept around him as both a lure and a shield."

He's a Great White Hope--as in, some guy Hollywood picks as The Messiah that's going to rescue the film industry. Same reason why idiots like Shammalammadingdong and Gerard Butler kept getting work after bombing again and again. Hollywood sees certain people and thinks. "Yes! That's the one! That's the next Orson Welles/Paddy Chayevsky/Kubrick! And if we keep throwing money at him, he'll crank out a brilliant movie eventually. Just you wait and see."

I think the numerous sexual assault allegations along with the comparison to Harvey Weinstein are so damning that Max Landis's career in Hollywood is FINISHED.

Chronicle is the only good movie he's done. He's a free man, so he can make movies if he wants, but nobody is watching them.
