[Puffy Fucking Baby]

What’s uncomfortable to admit is promoting inexperienced people tends to have consequences. It’s always been the case, but lately both ends of this woke thing focused in on “diverse” hires.

Chris Nolan spoke about how the preferred path for young directors breaking into Hollywood is a small indie, a moderate studio picture, and building up from there. Ryan Coogler, Greta Gerwig, and others had that same path. Getting some babe in the woods director on a $200 million studio tentpole is setting them up for failure. People used to be open about it when it was white guys like Josh Trank swallowed up in Fantastic Four. But now that wisdom can’t be spoken to, for reasons.

One theory is Disney get them cos a novice indie director will be more happy to go along with whatever dog shit they're given and not push back against the studio like a more seasoned one may do.
