      Thread / Rant: So about that B.S. "Solo" rumor mongering. I care less about obvious-politicized gossip. I care more about one of the deeper issues: chiefly, "the myth of know-exactly-what-they-want director."

      You know the one I'm talking about. It's the idea that director has every single shot planned in their head and knows every detail and it all comes together like a swiss-clock... Yeah. It's bullshit.

      And it's worst kind of bullshit, which is the kind of harmful bullshit a lot of people buy into. It breeds false confidence and ego mania. It breeds tyrannical on-set thought and not listening to those who disagree.

      It breeds trying to put square pegs in round holes that you're not going to get to work because it was "what was in your head." It breeds producers shrugging and going "well they sure seem to know what they want!" ... In short, it mostly breeds bad work.

      No, directing is largely about getting the story right on the page, then rigorous planning, then it's the ability to recognize what's actually happening and evolve with it, especially with performance and tone. You're essentially re-writing and also exploring.

      Some explore more, some explore less. But all do it when they need to. Lord and Miller have always been big explorers. But they have great story sense. Even their argumentation is the right kind because it's always in service of new ideas and the core story.

      So it's like, oh no 30 takes!?! Yeah, that's what they've always freaking done. It's giving yourself options in the edit to find tone and work through it. And they've only hit home-runs with this process.

      Even Stanley Kubrick, who everyone thought of this fussy meticulous director, was a total explorer and did a million takes not out of perfectionism, but because he was always looking for the most interesting strange think he didn't think of.

      Phil Lord used this quote to explain it: “Design in nature is but a concatenation of accidents, culled by natural selection until the result is so beautiful or effective as to seem a miracle of purpose.” Which is perfect, because they really are great at that natural selection.

      But they never got that chance to even get in the edit, and I really believe it's because of that bullshit myth. Whoever had that gossip just flat out didn't understand the creative process. And worse, it sounds like disney didn't either.

          And I worry it all caters to this top-down thinking "If it doesn't look and sound exactly like star wars 77" then it's not what we want. Like any addiction, trying to recapture that high, but always to less and less results. For how many times can you remake that damn movie? /FIN

          Again, this is really much less about the on-set gossip and dynamics. I don't care. I just care about how we view and talk about creativity.
