    It’s hard to know whether L&T was Taika’s flub or the studio’s. Either way, you’re right, it’s bad for his prospects.

    Then again, I’m not sure I see him as having the needed business acumen/savvy. Seems like Favreau and Johnson are maybe better equipped leaders in that way. Whedon would have worked too, if he hadn’t have tuned out to be such a turd.

      @MrDetermination @echoplex21 Sometimes I think Taiki was born in the wrong era. Movie studios used to be more supportive of iconoclastic filmmakers than there are now. Then again, when the budgets for movies keep escalating, corporate bean counters like Zaslav get nervous.
