A great resource for WB


WB can always count on him if they have to do a mainstream movie. He could direct a DC movie too

He's your typical Hollywood director-for-hire. Competent and reliable enough to churn in a profitable film, but largely lacking in any real talent or vision. In hindsight, he's probably my pick for the weakest Harry Potter director. Columbus did a fair job planting the seeds, Cuaron upped the quality of the series to all new heights, Newell did a competent job continuing the story (if not adapting the book), and then Yates came along and did the poorest job of them all (with the exception of the first Deathly Hallows).

What DC Comics movie could he do?

reply

Any. He's just a hired studio hand without any voice or vision of his own.
