Director of ‘Thor’ Calls Out Marvel: “I Hope Never To Repeat”

Date:

The director of Marvel’s  ‘Thor: The Dark World’, Alan Taylor reveals working on Marvel movies are frustrating and “wrenching”.

Alan Taylor has done some amazing work on TV including several episodes of ‘Game of Thrones,’ ‘Mad Men,’ and ‘The Sopranos’. Recently, he directed ‘Thor: The Dark World’ and ‘Terminator Genisys‘. But, in an interview with Uproxx, he described his time directing ‘Thor The Dark World’ for Marvel as a very unpleasant one.

When asked about his experience he stated the following:

“They were very different. I’ve done two [blockbuster movies] and I’ve learned that you don’t make a $170 million movie with someone else’s money and not have to collaborate a lot. The Marvel experience was particularly wrenching because I was sort of given absolute freedom while we were shooting, and then in post it turned into a different movie. So, that is something I hope never to repeat and don’t wish upon anybody else. ”

Alan Taylor would go on to explain that working on ‘Terminator Genisys’ was a better experience:

“This was not like that. The story we started telling is essentially the story we finished and are bringing out into the world. But there was a lot of collaboration, as there is going to be on something this big.”

This is a pretty revealing comment about the dark side of Hollywood. His comments illustrate that working with Marvel is not all that it is cracked up to be from a creative stand point. What happened behind the scenes is something that we can’t ever really know for sure, but from other comments from other creative talent that has worked with Marvel it is clear that working for them can sometimes be a challenging experience.
