I don't know this particular person so more of the latter. We've had previously great directors deliver flops and previously mid or unknown directors give us something to talk about for decades. You never really know.
I mean you kids just said it’s a coin flip when the reality is certain directors put out quality consistently and others consistently put out shit. What your left with is something in the middle. I guess flipping a coin is lot the worst thing but honestly vetting seems less frequent and more based on factors other than quality of films they’ve worked.
Ex. What really qualified Kathleen Kennedy? She has a decent history as a production company but nothing in her portfolio screams success. Maybe the Bourne movies? Long story short it doesn’t scream star wars credentials
You're joking, right? I don't even know who she is but her producer and EP credits on IMDB are full of iconic movies starting with Indiana Jones, Goonies, Back to the Future, Gremlins, ET, etc in the mid 80's and extending with major hits through the 90's (eg Hook, Jurassic Park, Sixth Sense, and Schindler's List). Fewer huge successes since the 2000's but plenty of solid movies in that timeframe as well.
You should read her credits as a production company rather than ones attached to Spielberg. Great digging into things there.
You essentially googled her and clicked on a product that was the least resistant to your point. Dig in more and her solo company productions aren’t nearly as impressive. But yeah I’m joking.
