He's mentioned somewhere (believe me I'm an internet enthusiast) that he doesn't like writing, he's just a master at adaptation. And I get that. Being really good at visualizing a story well is really hard.

Is Sicario an adaptation? I can't find any reference that it is.

Also, Prisoners is technically an adaptation of a short-story, but it's a not very well known short-story (I don't even see a name for the story on Wikipedia) from the writer of the screen play, so you could make an argument that the short story is essentially just a first draft of the script.

I do agree that we should just let him continue doing whatever he wants, he's done excellent work.

I feel like doing really great adaptations like he has is a really rare skill in his line of work. Dune was considered to be unfilmable even David Lynch failed to do it. But he did it extremely well

Seems promising

That's usual with Variety
