A Reddit POLL of more than 23,000 voters, and currently counting, has proclaimed Denis Villeneuve the best film director currently working in Hollywood. This is quite surprising but not unexpected considering that Villeneuve has directed 6 acclaimed movies in the past 7 years: "Incendies," "Prisoners," "Enemy," "Sicario," "Arrival" and "Blade Runner 2049." However, one might think that given Reddit's average age bracket (58 percent of adult Reddit users are aged 18 to 29 years) millennials would opt for the reigning king of their wet dreams, Christopher Nolan. Villeneueve, whom I've kept mentioning countless times on this site as a major directorial voice not just for millennials but for serious-minded mainstream moviegoers as well, is leading the poll by more than 1k votes.
Matt Johnson, the guy behind the excellent "BlackBerry" and "Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie," is directing Legendary's adaptation of Hasbro's "Magic: The Gathering."
