I know we like to think of the early rise of the journalist turned writer/director as unique, but it wasn't. Who am I talking about? The famed publisher, of course.
After an overwhelmingly negative experience on his last big production, this formerly A list director has no interest in directing motion pictures again. 'He's adamant about staying away right now,' says a staff member. 'He's not opposed to directing as a practise, but he is opposed to taking a project like that again.' I guess he's saying 'A hui hou' to that part of his life.
