Don't know if you're joking, but I don't think the directors are getting shafted by this creative bookkeeping.

- tomrod 14y agoI thought the article was clear on this point. The director was paid 5% of net. Net was negative -- the director got shafted. The directors I know are unlikely getting shafted by this method, as their portfolios consist of mainly live births, cattle auctions, and high school sports. Still Art Institute graduates though.
- w1ntermute 14y agoNo, the article wasn't clear on the point. It gave an example of one specific director, Scott Derrickson, getting shafted. No offense to Scott, but as a casual movie watcher, I haven't heard of him. And if casual movie watchers haven't heard of him, he can be easily replaced, and therefore easily shafted.
