Your 3 favorite all-time directors

[Chimera 1]

One can only hope they utilize the time they have properly.

In that case they could have expanded all of them except the first 2.

 

[YoNoSe]

He's not involved with Potter that I know of. I just thought many were putting him on a high horse due to landing The Hobbit or something. Hellboy was "ok" I guess.

GDT is on my list because of Devil's Backbone and Pan's, as far as his filmmaking chops go. Blade 2 is a guilty pleasure of mine and I do love me some Hellboy. As far as the Hobbit goes, I'm really disappointed that he took the job because he will be unable to direct any original films for at least four years. Nothing against LOTR or PJ, but I feel like whoever does it will be a slave to Jackson's style, to some degree. I'm sure it will be a collaboration, but the filmic style of that universe is already established. I'd rather see GDT play in his own world.
