Right. I'd forgotten about the DGA flack.
I wonder what impact that will have on his options. Didn't Quentin quit the DGA as well?
say you wanna a re-vo-lu-tion...we-ee-ll..
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

The evil is this way?
> IIRC, he was forced out of the other project when he resigned from the Directors Guild after the whole "multiple directors" brouhaha over Sin City.
I'm confused (again). What mulitple directors brouhaha, why would the DGA care and why would him not being a member of the DGA mean he couldn't direct this other movie?

Some studios won't hire non-union directors, I bet. RR dropped out of DGA when they wouldn't let him share directing credit with Frank Miller, the comic creator.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Apparently, there is a Guild rule that you may not have more than one director credited on a movie unless the two people are legitimately a "creative team" or some such verbiage. Thus, Hughes twins, OK; Coen brothers, OK; Rodriguez and Miller, not OK -- they've never teamed up before now, and Miller's never made a movie in his life.
(This is the movie Sin City, based on Miller's comics, which is how Miller got involved.)
So, Rodriguez had to drop Miller from the director credit, or resign from the Guild. He chose the latter. Having chosen the latter, he is not a member of the Guild, and thus may not direct other features that fall within the Guild umbrella. Sort of like, if you're a non-union carpenter, a lot of places won't hire you, unless you join the union.
I think Rodriguez can re-join the Guild, but maybe not for a set period of time.
Also, I stand with bon bon in the "definitely a skinnier nose" camp.
