Superheroes are the new movie stars...and that's not necessarily good news for the actors and directors who used to claim that role. With the perception that bankable properties like 'Spider-Man' and 'Iron Man' can sell themselves, Hollywood deal makers are tightening the purse-strings and offering less lucrative deals to the people making the movies.
Variety has an interesting and extensive editorial on one of the unintended consequences of the current revolution in movies.
Buried in the article is a mention that director George Miller, who cut a lucrative deal for 'Justice League', may be required to make some concessions if the movie goes forward.. Variety writes, "the studio is likely to revisit a gross deal it made a long time ago for director George Miller to direct 'Justice League,' expected to go into production soon."
