I cannot spread enough hate about this guy. He fucked up Mortal Kombat. He fucked up Resident Evil. It takes a special kind of anti-talent to ruin such popular creations. He takes these great gory franchises and turns them into mediocre messes because he doesn't have the balls to film anything that he might have to fight for.
He's a corporate hack. He's everything that is wrong with hollywood studios personified. He only does what's safe; which is infuriating when he wins the right to direct what you could call "controversial" subject matter. Subjects of horror and extreme violence. If he doesn't have the stomach for it, then someone else should be allowed the challenge. Don't kill the franchise by trying to make it more digestible to walmart moms.
If he doesn't respect the legacy of ALIEN or PREDATOR then of course he's not going to respect some unknown comic. Sorry to be blunt, but if you actually got a contract involving this guy, only sign it if all you care about is the paycheck.
