Today's Blind Items - The Director

This foreign born director was probably A- list if you look at his credits. Then, when you look a little deeper into it, you think to yourself, this director directed some really big budget box office hits, how come he has less than a dozen credits to his name? When you direct at least three movies that were at the top of the box office, you should have more credits. The crazy thing is, he directed his first two movies, and that is about it. For much of his career, he was a guy who lived off friendships and those friends saw that he was paid well for "directing" movies, but he was just a guy who was told what shots he was supposed to set up each day and how. He also got the credit for directing the movies, but had nothing to do with it except going where others had told him to go the night before. One of his biggest admirers is this permanent A list action actor who made sure his friend always had a job to earn some money and also got a kick out of the fact that he felt like he was pulling the wool over everyone's eyes in Hollywood.
