And I want to genuinely apologize, LV. Reading it over again I think I understand what happened. In sorry I wasn't clearer. I really thought you were being intentionally ignorant and playing dumb just to fuck with me.

Anyway, I'm sorry. The whole thing was dumb and I should've been clearer.

Joe, were you asking why LV thinks Edwards is in "director jail"?

Yes

I was just curious if there was a specific news story or event that caused LV to post about it. I tried searching the news but couldn't find anything. Just didn't know if I'd missed something

LV, on behalf of Durden, I'd like to ask why you think Gareth Edwards is in director jail

It went from zero to cocaine in less than a Gary Busey.

Is there any verifiable evidence that Edwards is being ignored or blackballed?

Nothing specific. He made two very successful and well-liked blockbusters and it’s now been over two years with zero news about him doing another project. Doesn’t add up.

Also, “director jail” generally isn’t a verifiable thing, and the people involved don’t usually confirm it until years later. Talking about it publicly would only damage one’s career further.

Maybe he's just burned out after working on such a big budget, high pressure film? I dunno.

Thank you for answering my question before getting into that strange Gareth Edwards exchange.

Also, I enjoyed that movie he did with Scoot McNairy in it.

I know a guy out in LA who talked to Edwards in passing recently and Edwards said he had stuff in the works. He hinted at potential new Star Wars content, too. I wonder if they'll announce that he's involved in one of the streaming shows or something at Celebration in April?

Either way I hope he does something soon. He's a great director.

does it ever bother you that movie watching severely cuts into your posting time?
