>>838 Yes, he has minions in his agency scouring scripts for him. Only a handful end up in his hands. It's such a myth all he does is read scripts and knock them back.
I won't begrudge him a break, he has been working relentlessly (especially if you include the SUMMER OF LOVE in his work schedule ;)). He does however, as we have all acknowledged, need to repair his image. Perhaps he plans to disappear for a while after Kong promo a la his prominent ex but nothing fixes shit like a blockbuster or an academy award and you have to work to get those. I honestly can't see SI leading to either accolade.
It's possible his future is also tied up in the success of SI; if it is a success, he can take a guilt free break, if it is a flop he will (insert opinion).
My personal opinion is that he needs to keep working. He needs a breakthrough quality project while he still has hair (although looking at the SI trailers I think they fixed his hairline). He's a confessed workaholic and I truly believe if the quality projects were flooding in he would be grasping them by the balls and announcing them from the hilltops
