Directors follow-up film and so on?
How can a guy write and direct a black comedy that delves deep into the psyche of characters in a cutthroat buisness go on to direct a movie like Trojan War after? I haven't seen much of the other things he has done, (suggestions appreciated) but they don't seem to be anything inspiring. I get the whole one hit wonder thing and I don't think by any means Swimming with Sharks is a perfect movie, but it was a very good thought provoking, character driven film. It was also a very good first film for any director. Even more so because George Huang wrote is as well. That being said I can't believe even for a one hit wonder that Huang thought that a cheesy teen comedy like Trojan War was actually a good script to develop into a movie. I understand that there is a market for these type of movies, and I too enjoy one every now and again. It just seems like an odd choice for his next project considering how good and the type of film Swimming with Sharks is. I would be nice if he would give us something else as good if not better then Swimming with Sharks. Boy do we need it. Hollywood has lost focus on the two most important things in filmmaking, a good story and great acting. I guess I'll have to keep watching Alec Baldwin and Al Pacino's scenes in Glengarry Glen Ross. THEN I'M OVER THE F ING TOP AND YOU OWE ME A CADILLAC.
