5. Tarsem Singh
Responsible For: The Fall, The Cell, Immortals, Mirror Mirror
Why He'd Be Great: In essence, Tarsem has a flawless visual eye and attention to detail that seems almost unparalleled by working directors today. And, like Shyamalan, he's a director who can present a fantastic visual picture, but can't elevate a bad script. However, anyone who's seen
The Fall knows that Tarsem can direct actors beautifully, and his sense of scale and love of location would only help a tale like Dr. Strange's. Tag him up with an accomplished or well-to-do writer and watch the sparks fly. Like with Shyamalan, since Marvel would be providing most of the necessary backing, it'd be difficult for him to screw up. It also helps that Stephen Strange walks around, dressed as if he stepped out of one of Singh's films.
