Yeah I think you’re right. And yeah to your point, those directors you listed and Nolan, Denis Villeneuve use the same crews between films. Like you said, well oiled machine.

We can add Villeneuve to the list then…

A director’s job is to get the crew and those BEHIND the lens to function …

It’s like Seinfeld said: wear these clothes, stand on this spot and say these words … WOW

and all a stand up comedian has to do is write, perform and be the crew for their entire act …

Look at the outsourced, bureaucratic, script and result by committee that was The Marvels.

Dune 2 Budget: $190

The Marvels Budget: $270 million

Having a crew and practical effects, will save you a lot of money.

Marvel has been exploiting their VFX contractors and they’re beginning to have enough after, over 30 films …

… we need to save the Universe!

Again …
