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.
