HCIsland has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

Well to Jackson's defence, he is very much a boot strap director, getting started completely with his own money. He is still relatively early in his career, really working in the independent scene until fairly recently.<P>Heavenly Creatures, his only other "serious" outing, was extremely well respected. His other films are horror outings (well Frighteners is a horror/adventure/comedy sort of thing) that definately have their following.<P>The Wachowski brothers' only have one other film to their directing credits and that is Bound. It is a good film, but speaking personally, not as bold and ambitious as Heavenly Creatures.<P>I think it is far too early in either of these careers to make judgements on them.<P>H.C.<p>[ November 13, 2003: Message edited by: HCIsland ]
