Obviously. But you are not looking for talent. You are looking for directors who happen to be female or non-white. 

 

In the film industry, as in life in general, it used to be the case that you first had to prove yourself, then be given a shot at big-time. What has Patty Jenkins done to deserve directing a major motion picture? What would you say if a random dude with only one small movie under his belt was given Wonder Woman? I think you'd be surprised. 

 

Well, if the buzz turns out to be true, I think hiring Patty will be the best decision WB will ever had made for the DCEU.

Maybe, I don't know how Wonder Woman turns out in the end. 

 

All I'm saying is that Patty Jenkins doesn't have blockbuster credentials, a mere statement of fact. As for the "buzz" you are referring to, I am personally unaware of it. In matter of fact, the only thing I've heard about Wonder Woman up to now, is that it's tracking well below expectations. Not that I put too much weight on such things, but that's the information available to me right now.

This is insane. White male directors who have done jack shit get blockbusters ALL THE TIME. There are TONS of female/POC directors who have done fantastic small films, who will never get a shot because RAWR MALE DIRECTORS.

I have this person blocked but are we pretending Monster wasn't an Oscar winning film lmao?

They need to direct a blockbuster before they get to direct a blockbuster.

I'm guess he probably means monster isn't similar to the type of big blockbuster movie WW is not to mention she directed that 13 years ago and only small lifetime movies since that time.

In matter of fact, I explained exactly that in very clear terms. 

 

I have also explained, that in the film industry (as in many aspects of life, sport, business etc) people start from lower tiers and when/if they prove themselves worthy/successful, they get their chance at something bigger later. 

 

Are the above statements controversial?

For example? 

 

Jon Favreau had directed no film with a budget over $70 mil before Iron Man, and was very hit/miss. That was literally the first white director of a blockbuster I looked up. I bet I could look up literally 90% of white, male blockbuster directors and their history prior will be... average at best.

[UNDERDOG]

Patty proved herself with a lower tier film like 'MONSTER' and is now, which has taken awhile, finally getting rewarded with a big film.

I don't see the problem.

[That One Girl]

All are great choices but I think Raimi's talents would be better suited to something like Suicide Squad 2.

I'm obviously onboard whatever Raimi decides to do next.

Silas Stone (Vic's father) is in Justice League (in the trailer as well).  Pretty sure Kiersey said she filmed a cameo for JL.

 

Mera (in trailer) and Vulko (Willem Dafoe) are also in Justice League.

 

 

It seems all the Justice League characters have people from their 'solos'the film.

Raimi is a gift to us all and any movie he chooses to direct I'm first in line for.
