1. Andrew Adamson
Responsible For: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and The Wardrobe, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Shrek, Shrek 2
Why He'd Be Great: There are so many things working in Adamson's favor, it's not even funny. First, he's responsible for the best animated Dreamworks films to come out of the studio. Second, he's already worked with Disney, very successfully, with
The Chronicles of Narnia. Thirdly, he's a director willing to stick with a franchise for at least two films. Fourthly, he knows how to both adapt long-standing works of fiction and create something original and provide a sequel better than the first film. Fifthly, his expert, visual eye leads to beautiful frames like this
whole, damn trailer. Sixthly, he's working with real 3D shooting, and not conversion. He's a conglomeration of all the directors before him on this list and he's ripe for the picking. Let's not forget, also, that he's an animation director coming into live-action, which provides some fantastic visual eye pieces (look at Brad Bird, Andrew Stanton, Seth McFarlane) that many directors who have never done animation are somewhat blind to. Truly. Could a director be better for a film? Oh, wait. He's
also working with a producer who seems to know what he's doing, too.
