In Reply to: Is Hollywood lacking good actors or good directors? posted by mvwine on February 11, 2002 at 07:37:48:
The problem is there are tooooo many directors...and most of them mediocre. Having a DGA card these days is like having a penny in your pocket...there isn't one around when you really need it.The cinema schools have cranked them out like link sausages, coupled with this and the fact, that studios can throw a pencil and find a cheap director that will work for scale, so their overhead is very low and the money can go to the actors, but most likely to pay for the high cost of music rights, which is probably the most single important production element, aside for the stars!
There are very, very few directors who command high salaries, like there were in the old days...but very many directors, that are more journeyman technicians, that literally have no trackrecords to speak of. It's to the advantage of producers like Joe Roth, Jerry Bruckheimer, where they can just find a good technician "director", really cheap. I don't even think you can call them directors in the classic sense...they are nothing but glorified traffic cops.
