Yeah heard somewhere back in March they were going to make a series but based more on the actual book, but apparently it is coming from one of the producers of the new Bionic Woman series that came out a while back and the Battlestar Galactica series, and he is writing the pilot script.
I haven't read the book, so have no idea how close the film was and what changes that means for the actual series.
There isn't one really . Although, there were far more that did deserve one in his biography.
Just felt bad for the guy not having ever gotten an Oscar for his directing, which I obviously think is pretty good. No rationale, just sympathy.
And I do agree btw; I think 'The Departed' is over-rated. Good movie... but not up there.
chillmeistergen : Hell NO that isn't a ranked list!
SnakeEyes : I'm sure they are. I said I wasn't sure about some, but I am sure about some of his awesome ones.
Mairuzu : It's freakin' awesome and definitely one of Clive Owen's best.

I get what you're saying about awards. But now that he has gotten one, it is some type of recognition and that's always welcomed I think. And as far as recognition is concerned, getting an Oscar gets announced overseas too, and many foreigners who may never have heard of him now do.
Me...yeah. Doesn't make too much of a difference in my life except feeling good for him. Nothing else.
Mairuzu my bad...just looked back. You think it's one of Clive's better ones though?

Got a few friends in the Middle East and India. All movie-lovers. I don't want to use the word 'illiterate', but they know stars and movies as 'that one with the...', and 'Oh yeah, that muscular guy in that crappy movie ...' [ref: I am Legend!]
But they actually followed up on which movies 'this guy with the eyebrows, he won Oscar...very short man' he had directed after they read his name, because they assumed all his other movies would be good.
You'd be surprised how many kids in Iraq and Kuwait loved movies but lived through the above-mentioned scenario. All because of the exposure due to his Oscar.
P.S. Gave me an idea for an interesting thread: Which directors/ actors/ actresses do you think didn't deserve their Oscars? Hmm.
