Wealth of Geeks' Key Times Movie Directors Left Their Comfort Zone

"Film Scholars have long debated the merits of the "auteur theory," where the director serves as the primary creative force in the filmmaking process. Critics argue that a director authors a unique style throughout their catalog of films. When many prominent directors make their mark and fine-tune their approach, they stay in their creative comfort zone. No one envisions Wes Anderson helming a gritty crime procedural. Could we live in a world where Spike Jonze directed the next Marvel movie? Not likely, but boy, wouldn't that be cool?! But occasionally, a popular director leaves his comfort zone to tackle something wild and different. Find here examples of auteur movie directors taking that proverbial risky swing, resulting in some of the best (and worst) movies of the last few decades." - wealthofgeeks.com
