I think that given his current position in the industry, he has a lot of say in what kind of films he will be in. I remember having read something about how proud he is of "I Robot".
From the perspective of those who love visuals and the talents required to work in blue screen, I agree that he should be proud.
Still he is an late-comer to the table as the the film is conceived
His role comes into play toward the end of the formative processes. he is an actor and a talented one
Not sure. Considering his position, he can initiate projects.
So when he does this alleged initiation of projects, should he not make himself appear boxoffice worthy as everyone else in the hollywood set (with his pull) has done?
Honestly, if he is one hundred per cent to blame for making a sellable movie out of a book that ninety percent of the populace can not understand, then I support his art.
....... and art it IS, indeed.
