Which leads to my question (which I don't know the answer to). How does that translate into being a director? Has he ever directed anything?
I can see it translating quite well actually. It’s basically story boarding action. Sure, ultimately a different medium, but it’s closer than prose being one of dialogue and visuals.
And you have to direct something for the first time. And these are, now, short films. So, why not?
I’m more weirded out that someone who is so involved with creator owned works AND has worked on others IP would get invoked in this shit show of a copyright infringing project.
