Reply to comment by darkness_escape in After watching Boss Level and Cop Shop it's absolutely crazy to me studios are not lining up to throw money at Carnahan to direct big blockbuster movies. His action set pieces and choreography are top notch and his scripts recently are just perfect. by herewego199209

That's strange because I think Cop Shop is the best movie he's ever made next to Narc. Sometimes directors getting control stripped from them makes for a better movie. It's like the Edward Norton story on American History X where Norton basically took over the movie and the editing and kicked the director off the movie and the movie actually got better because of it.

Also Karl Urban said Alex Garland was more of a director on Dredd than the credited director

Yeah the Garland story is now infamous like the Spielberg actually directing Poltergeist instead of Toby Hooper, but in this case Garland is up front with being pissed about not getting a directors credit on Dredd.
