Ehh, to be fair, Star Wars is doing okay. But yes, it would be more of a Kathleen Kennedy directed SW movie than anything if the batches of "creative difference" firings are telling.

 

If I were WB, I would definitely keep him on their roll. If he's not signed for It: Chapter 2 by Monday, they failed. And then after that, get him to direct a Fantastic Beasts movie, since Yates shouldn't be given the reigns of the whole franchise and some creative diversity is more than welcome (or you could even sign him to do Flashpoint or Justice League Dark for the DCEU, but I think he's a better fit for the Potterverse).

No no no no! Yates is the best thing that happened to the HP movies. He knows his job and, most important of all, Rowling likes him. That is paramount when it comes to the movies coming out right. And even if WB would want to change the director, I doubt Rowling would let it happen. I think she has even more power than people here think.

Kennedy can't contain him. She's not Doug Liman enough.

 

That might be true, but Doug Liman is gonna have to go full Doug Liman in order for him to not be restrained.  Hopefully he Doug Liman's just enough and he won't get fired.

What? Yates is boring enough to almost completely suck the magic out of Harry Potter. I've never seen someone make such a vivid world feel quite so flat.

Yates is probably one of the blandest directors working today.

[baumer]

So now that everybody has it fever, for those of you who have never really read a lot of Stephen King, I've said to my friends in the past that he is the John Hughes of horror novels. A lot of his books and stories deal with youth and coming of age and so on. It is basically a John Hughes horror movie LOL.

[YM!]

Yates is alright.

He has a completely anonymous directing style that I'm sure every studio wishes they could hire for every major project of theirs. Maybe he will if he ever gets tired of making Harry Potter universe movies (he won't as long as the huge grosses keep coming in).

[That One Girl]

Yates would be perfect for Star Wars because nothing would be lost in the creative process

[FantasticBeasts]

I really don't get the Yates hate. At least for his work in the Harry Potter series.

I found DH1&2 to be better than the book. I also really liked the way they did HBP.Order could have been better but still decent enough. Those movies are beloved so nothing to be ashamed of from his part.

He's worse than Cuaron though. That's undeniable!

David Yates Drops Out of Star Wars Over Creative Differences. They Won't Let Him Make The Movie Drab and Grey Enough.

Yates would be a perfect for a Gears of War movie

Judging by his username, I'm gonna guess that he did see Fantastic Beasts

[aabattery]

It's hard to feel much of anything about a Yates movie.

he's probably asking because after seeing FB. why would he want to pick that as a username?
