a ver si coge un productor que le corte un poco las peliculitas y le diga...

Ya ha dicho que su próxima peli tiene un guión más largo que la última, a su vez el guión que acaba de escribir el triple(probablemente sea una mini-serie), además pasa olimpicamente de productores que no le dejen el final cut.

Everyone will be pleased to know that the next film I’m doing [Gothic orphan tale Hug Chickenpenny, based on Zahler’s own novel] – is 188 pages, and the one I just finished writing is 317. Clearly I haven’t learned my lesson. I’ve written 50 screenplays and eight novels, I don’t need to change what I want to make, I just want to make the best version.

317 pages…

That will likely be a limited series, but if you want to watch it all in one sitting, go for it.

With the studios so focused on those blockbusters, could FAANG save the indie space?

I think they could. I would like to work with Netflix, they’re very upfront, they give you the money and give you creative control. I hope to be in business with them soon, I think they’d be a good partner. I was offered some studio stuff after Bone Tomahawk and my first question with anything is, will I get final cut? For me to even have a conversation I would need that, and most studios won’t give it to you.
 
Although the phrase 'The best Michael Bay movie ever' may not be an actual compliment in a lot of circles, '13 Hours' is a solid 7 out of 10 and better than almost every movie that I saw in 2015. It is the successful modern warfare movie that the highly confusing 'Black Hawk Down' and the very dull 'Zero Dark Thirty' were not.

Showcasing a big cast of likable (and discernible) characters and some good (albeit slightly confusing) action set pieces, this movie bears comparisons to the HBO series 'Band of Brothers' and 'Generation Kill,' which it more strongly resembles, but it is actually a bit better than those good shows, thanks to the very likable, better differentiated ensemble cast of characters and the uncomfortable, but steady ratcheting of the plot. And unlike 'Black Hawk Down' and 'Zero Dark Thirty' almost all of the drama here actually works. The grisly moments are well--and dryly--handled, and the performances are good, and in some cases--such as with Schreiber, Denman, and Krasinski--very good.

None of the flaws are severe. Mostly, they are limited to the (expected) overcutting of the material, the occasional stylistic flourishes that don't quite gel with the rest of the movie (e.g. the mortar shell point of view), some scenes that are explained rather than shown (eg. the guarding the ambassador during his public appearance), and a handful of line readings of the wisecracking dialogue that don't seem as natural as those that are in the rest of the movie.

In terms of morals and messages, '13 Hours' was noticeably grayer than I was expecting it to be, especially considering the director and that it was based on a true story. If I did not know who directed this, my first guess would actually have been Michael Mann--the visuals really have that lose, purposefully ugly 'Collatera'l and 'Miami Vice' (2006) feel--though this is certainly a much more sentimental picture than anything that Mann has made in decades. A surprisingly good ensemble war event along the lines of 'Men in War' (1957) and 'Battleground' (1949). Recommended.
