Rupert Sanders

Rupert Sanders fascinates me precisely because he lives at the center of the argument. Snow White and the Huntsman, Ghost in the Shell, The Crow, even the Foundation pilot: he keeps taking on adaptations and myths that come pre-loaded with passionate fans ready to be disappointed. His visual command, rooted in his commercials background, is genuinely striking, yet the conversation around him is rarely settled. I admire the nerve it takes to keep accepting projects that almost guarantee controversy. He may not be a consensus auteur, but he is never boring, and I find myself curious every time about what difficult property he reaches for next.
