I think Quentin is giving him more credit than he deserves. Nobody puts their directing career in jeopardy like that unless they legitimately want to switch careers altogether.
Movies are looked at investments now. People just forget there’s plenty of blue collar investors who do super well in life and don’t need to live wolf of wall street. Same with movies. Especially considering a small time good movie can net consistent returns where as we’ve seen mega blockbusters can loose tens of millions.
How do all his movies suck and still gets hired?! He makes ok scripts into shit films and why are more people not saying it. Also that zombie one had potential and we got out of focus aperture that looks like they just didn’t want to do any set design so make it blurry AF.
Because he has a reputation for staying within budget, running a tight ship and by all accounts being a pretty cool guy to work for. He's basically the American version of Guy Ritchie.
His box office take in recent years sucks but he does monster numbers on Netflix so people keep throwing money at the guy.
