  • The only thing I've seen of Fukunaga's work is JANE EYRE, which I found almost completely forgettable. Some of you are clattering on about the guy's amazing visual aesthetics, but I can't recall a single shot from that film. Oddly enough, I have a m…

  • I find it amusing that EON felt the need to include the guy's middle name in their press release. How many other people named Cary Fukunaga are in the Director's Guild?
