Few directors have had such an impact on modern cinema asChristopher Nolan. The Oscar winner made his sensational feature directorialdebut in 1998 withFollowing, and the rest, as they say, is history. Nolan has built a resume on authenticity, realism, andthe marriage between art and commercialism; watching a Nolan movie means surrendering to the movie gods. The worthy heir of the brand of meaningful spectacle that turnedSteven SpielbergandJames Cameroninto legends, Nolan still has a distinct style; he’s colder than Spielberg and more cerebral than Cameron, but his visual language is just as profound....

There’s just something about a disaster thriller that piques our interest as humans. Finding themselves on the spectrum of either “this could never happen” or “this is way too close to home,” the genre has long played on our fears of the end of the world. And, if there was one director who we’d consider to be obsessed with the apocalyptic idea, it would be — hands down —Roland Emmerich. The man behind such titles asMoonfall,Independence Day: Resurgence, and2012has made a career out of helming large-scale, epic blockbusters about the Earth’s final days....

As expected, it sounds likeJohn Krasinskiwill indeed be back in the director’s chair forA Quiet Place 2. Krasinski famously rewrote the original script forA Quiet Place, reworking it as a metaphor for parenting while also pitching himself to direct as well as star in it. That worked out remarkably well, as the film is not only extremely well-crafted (and surprisingly emotional), but was a huge box office hit, scoring over $340 million worldwide against a budget of just $17 million....

One of the more storied productions in recent memory is that of 20th Century Fox’sFantastic Fourreboot.

Despite starting off his career as a promising filmmaker capable of bringing some of the weirdest possible stories to life and turning them into hits,Tim Burtonhas been in the throws of a period of creative decline in the last few decades.
