Hardly "almost nothing". The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen apparently performed badly enough to negatively affect his career. He also supposedly went into independent filmmaking from 2011 but so far hasn't released a single movie, which is rather weird. I wonder if he's some kind of "difficult personality" (i.e. not the right kind of weird for Hollywood), that one-person-project that the article talks about certainly points in that direction. Or he just took some time to raise his children, enjoy his wealth etc.
I really liked the league, not quite the adaptation of the graphic novel but it was good fun.
I just wonder what trajectory his life would have been on had he directed the Blade sequels
It’s not particularly weird. It’s only a small percentage of independent films that actually get made. He was attached to several films that didnt’t pan out.
Sure it's a small percentage, but how many independent movies had the director of a big budget Hollywood movie involved? You'd think that guy would be able to release at least one independent movie in 15 years.
Not really how it works. Any indie film tends to be a fragile coalition of financiers, and a big commercial director is expensive and hard to wrangle.
