"he did no actually co-direct the film." Well that's differs from what Robert Rodriguez <a href="http://movies.about.com/cs/upcomingreleases/a/sincity022504.htm">said</a>. "I also wanted him involved in every aspect of the production, including sharing in the directing." Also in an interview at <a href="http://www.aintitcool.com/node/17976">AICN</a>, he specifically mentions Miller giving the actors direction. I trust his version of the events. "the DGA would not allow [the credit] since he did not actually co-direct" You've got the order wrong, which makes me question the source that informed your comment. Robert tried to get a waiver <i>before</i> the film was made not after, and was declined because they weren't a directing team. You can read about it at <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2116501">Slate</a>. I see you have a passion for film, but you do yourself a disservice by not doing a little research to inform your writing. 712693@blogcritics.org Tue, 22 Apr 2008 00:27:31 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/04/21/154649.php#comment-712682 While Miller was in fact on set and is credited as co-director he did no actually co-direct the film. Rodriguez insisted that he be given a co-director credit because he based the visual style of the film so heavily on the graphic novels, but the DGA would not allow it since he did not actually co-direct so Rodriguez resigned from the DGA. While I know that Miller had a lot of input in how the film was made, he did not actually co-direct as is credited. 712682@blogcritics.org Mon, 21 Apr 2008 23:09:14 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/04/21/154649.php#comment-712605 Rodriguez co-directed this with Miller and considering they took so much from the graphic novels, like shooting a good portion of the film on green screen sets and inserting the artwork straight from the comics, he is part of why this film is so great. 712605@blogcritics.org Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:44:53 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/04/21/154649.php#comment-712603 Rodriguez co-directed this with Miller and considering they took so much from the graphic novels, like shooting a good portion of the film on green screen sets and inserting the artwork straight from the comics, he is part of why this film is so great. 712603@blogcritics.org Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:41:39 EDT
