    Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

    Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but this opinion is wrong.:) So, are you saying it is a biopic, or it isn't? To me, if you're setting out to tell the true story of Queen, you should make some effort to get the story right. I did like the musical sequences, artful as they were at...

    Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

If, say, Lawrence Kasdan had replaced Miller & Lord as the director, Miller & Lord would have gotten the director's credit even if Kasdan had directly nearly the entire...

    Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

    The DGA has strong rules that are heavily biased toward the original director when assigning credit. Lord and Miller voluntarily accepted executive producer credits in lieu of a directing credit on Solo, otherwise they would have had a strong case for the same reason. Once upon a time, I...

    Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

    I don't know if there's ever been a situation before where a director gets fired during pre-production, his replacement gets fired two-thirds of the way through prinicipal photography, and the the original director gets hired back to finish principal photography and oversee post-production.
