My friend and fellow HEFfer voodoochild said he isn't surprised that Ava turned Marvel down because Marvel has a very definite way of doing things...and Ava is a auteur. He says that Marvel might lean toward a TV director with a strong feel for action. Of the off top Hollywood names that he mentioned, he added The Hughes Brothers to the list of consideration in our discussion. I...to my shame...had forgotten about our august Brothers.
