Jon Watts, Louis Leterrier, and Tim Miller Say This Is What's Next for Hollywood

The Big Picture At this year's debut CCXP Mexico, Collider's Steve Weintraub had the opportunity to take our Directors on Directing panel to Mexico City, where Jon Watts , Louis Leterrier and Tim Miller joined us in an extended conversation about the state of the filmmaking industry, their hopes for the future, and upcoming projects.

Meet the 'Directors on Directing' Panel Close Each of the three directors selected for CCXP Mexico has directed installments of some of Hollywood's biggest franchises. All three of them, Jon Watts, Louis Leterrier, and Tim Miller, have guided crews through the phases of production, maneuvered striking action sequences, and put their hearts into creating spectacles that would sate the appetites of fans.

A set is a fine-tuned, well-oiled machine, but only when the individuals working on it, like the cinematographer, the costume department, visual effects, and editors, are able to put their best work forward. To bring all of that work together into one cohesive idea, Miller says, "The skills that you really need are the skills you need in everyday life.

Watts, whose Spider-Man trilogy grossed a total cume of nearly $4 billion worldwide and whose No Way Home was the first movie to kick off theaters reopening their doors post-pandemic, says getting the greenlight for movies that audiences want to see comes down to bravery within the studios. The price tag of a big blockbuster will never change, but the initiative to take chances can:

Is the Movie Industry Overloaded With IP? As far as what scripts directors take on or are offered, one of the biggest debates among creators and audiences alike is how many more sequels, remakes, and reboots we need. In a time of franchises and big IPs being pushed, it becomes less about the singular material and more about what will drive audiences to the theaters on opening weekend.
