: Also, co-director of THE TIME MACHINE. Yes, Gore Verbinski and Ehren "IMPOSTOR" Krueger bringing us a HOLLYWOOD REMAKE. Yeah, sounds like a winner.
THE MEXICAN was really entertaining, and MOUSE HUNT wasn't too bad either. As for THE TIME MACHINE, he came in and had a month or so to try and clean up the mess made by the first director, wasn't really a co-director kinda thing.
: Also, I'd think twice about trusting this 'sweet buzz'. Batman & Robin got 'sweet buzz'.
Actually it didn't, the buzz on BATMAN AND ROBIN was horribly negative. Joel Schumacher blames the internet buzz on the failure of the movie. He should really blame the movie itself, but either way, word of mouth was terrible on that movie.
And one of my managers produced THE RING, and he's pretty honest about his movies. He likes it, as does a few of my friends who saw it.
