The Mystery of the Missing Moviemakers

This is an interesting article by Sharon Waxman of the New York Times that discusses the disturbing absence and idleness of some of the 90's most promising directors. It asserts that Hollywood's tendancy to indulge talent early without providing any real support has left many formidable filmmakers out of the loop, citing David O. Russel, Spike Jonze, David Fincher and Kimberly Pierce as examples.
