Not really; he dumped Disney; they still wanted him. The dinner confrontation ended this way:
After way too many courses, Disney executives walked Shyamalan and his agent to the elevator, and Cook asked to speak to the director alone.
"Just make the movie for us," Cook said, hoping to keep Disney's most important director in the fold. "We'll give you $60 million and say, 'Do what you want with it.' We won't touch it. We'll see you at the premiere."
Aha. Thanks.
It'd surprise me if no big bucks director ever got shown the door, but it's not something I have ammo for.
I was going to call him a douche, but "scrunt" is a much better word.

I don't know a whole lot about Batman, other than what Joe has told me and what I have gotten from the movies. But first of all, I was really hoping the Batman Begins fanchise would NOT do The Joker. At least not for awhile. Every other franchise has done him. Find someone else. Give The Riddler another shot without that jackass Carey effing him up. Do Two-Face again. Good lord, try Poison Ivy again. But anyone, anyone but The Joker.
Second of all, Heath Ledger? SERIOUSLY??
nah.
Would like a Poison Ivy movie.
I think that just because the Joker is in the film doesn't mean it's going to be all about the Joker.
True enough, but I'd rather not see him at all.
He does team up with criminal Gotham fairly frequently.
Did mention of the Joker mess up BB for you?
