Quoted:
Steven Spielberg drops out of directing "American Sniper" Bradley Cooper remains set to star and produce via his 22nd and Indiana banner, though Spielberg's DreamWorks banner is no longer involved as a co-financier. An individual familiar with the project tells TheWrap that Spielberg had a vision in his head for the movie that didn't align with the current budget. Spielburg is a pussy. |

Check fire! Remember that Cooper is the gun-grabber getting cozy with BHO! Spielberg may be opting out of the flick because of political interference with the story!

His best days are behind him. I will say he does have a very high opinion of himself though.
IMO he is highly over rated as a director. You could take most any 2 bit hollyweird director and give him unlimited funds, $200-$300 million dollar budgets like Stevey boy always gets and they'd look great too. Lets see him make a popular movie with a $200k budget instead of $200 million, he doesn't have the talent and skills. |

Im guessing Spielberg wanted to slip some NAZIs into the story, Cooper wants it to be a morality tale about "living by the gun" and we are gonna get a shitty movie that misses the mark on the service of a guy who deserves to be honored by people that appreciate his sacrifice.

To be fair, the new TinTin was pretty badass.
Yes, it got a little absurd towards the end as it kept trying to top itself. The denouement was real absurd. But it was a solidly good movie. Lots of awesome gun porn (I really want a BHP with tangent sights after seeing it.), and it starts off awesome with a hardcore straight-from-the-comic murder scene. TinTin himself has a PPK. All the weapons and gunplay are legit, and period-correct. That's rare enough of a thing. Yes, they make a bunch of stupid sight gags to exploit the 3D version of the movie. Yes, I'll repeat, the denouement is patently absurd. But Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 75% and I'm inclined to agree. |
