I don't understand the career trajectory of some of the big players in Hollywood right now. Jenkins did Monster, then a series of one-off television gigs, landed Wonder Woman (good for her) and now a huge remake of Cleopatra followed by Star Wars. That's quite a leap.
It feels like she's following in the footsteps of Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and David Benihoff in people who must talk just a fantastic game. To a lesser extent JJ Abrams and Snyder Cut are in this group as well, as people how are propped up not based on work in the field, or outstanding achievement.
Why is sci-fi and fantasy a dumping ground?
