20 Best Film Directors Of The Decade (So Far)
11. Phil Lord And Christopher Miller
2010s Films: 21 Jump Street, The LEGO Movie, 22 Jump Street
Upcoming Projects: Star Wars: Han Solo
Phil Lord and Chris Miller don't just make great movies; they make great movies out of down-right stupid ideas that a lesser directing duo would completely fumble: the movie reboot of a TV series now remembered only for starring Johnny Depp became an irreverent action pastiche full of meta humour, the sequel a dissection of regurgitative follow-ups and The LEGO Movie turned one of the most cynical ideas of recent memory into a thrilling comedy and complex dissection of modern society.
Just imagine what they'll do with the Han Solo Star Wars Story, a film that seems incredibly dubious but based on track record could wind up being the best of the Disney lot.
