I can't think of a single director who hasn't made an unoriginal work (adaptation or based on a true story). Can you?
Inception
What do I win?
Rian Johnson would have qualified until The Last Jedi, Edgar Wright until Scott Pilgrim, Tarantino until Jackie Brown...
Ridley Scott - Alien
>>79759153
What are you talking about? Inception is not a director.
>>79759153
Paprika copy
>>79759126
It's because Hollywood is afraid to engage with real story tellers
>>79759178
Ridley Scott made Blade Runner, The Martian, etc. based on books.
Terrence Malick?
>>79759187
That's not what original means here, don't be that dumbass. And I watch Paprika, it's shit.

Sorry, Nolan.
>>79759218
The New World is based on a true story m8.
THAT ONE DUDE THAT MADE BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW.
Its his only film, and it was original.
>>79759241
My bad
>>79759260
Nolan has made three films based on comics, one remake, a film based on a novel and a film based on a short story. So no, not Nolan.

>Shit reading comprehension
explain to me how alien isn't original
>tfw someone posts your reaction image from 2013
Why does time go so fast bros?
>>79759284
Sneaky.
>>79759335
Reread OP you thick shit. That wasn't the question.
>>79759322
I agree with you but I was just trying to say that inception was original. His other films are not original
>>79759349
I'm not just someone, I'm you from the past. Merry Christmas.

>I was just trying to say that inception was original
Why?
>>79759153
What in the FUCK did he mean by this?
>>79759126
Wong kar wai
Akira Kurosawa?
If we're going by OP's definition of unoriginal (he didn't put sequels) we can also add Jackie chan
David Lynch?
>>79759946
Yo Throne of Blood and Ran are both based on Shakespeare
>>79759946
Ashes of Time is loosely based on a book. The Grandmaster is loosely based on a real person.
>>79759966
The Elephant Man is based on a real person. Wild at Heart is based on a novel.
this guy
>>79760073
He did a TV adaptation of The Castle.
>>79759126
Is the double negative just to confuse people?
Anyway I'll try Tarr, Haneke, and Chazelle
all art is based on the life experiences of the artist. whether those experiences are their own or told to them or just in a book they read. art without grounded context is called "modern art" and a lot of it stinks.
>>79760186
Haneke >>79760140
For Tarr, Satantango and Werckmeister Harmonies are both based on books, and the Turin Horse is based on supposed true events
>>79760186
Satantango was based on a novel.
Haneke made an adaptation of Kafka's The Castle.
Chazelle has worked on sequel screenplays but that doesn't really count. It's still quite early in his career, though.
>>79760186
I dom think it's a double negative because if you resolve them it changes the meaning of his proposal completely
He uses can't, hasn't, and unoriginal
He CAN think of any director who HAS made unoriginal work? That's not the original meaning
He can't think of any director who HAS made ORIGINAL work? That's not the same either, because there can be some original works but he's suggested all directors have at least 1 movie based on something
Etc
shane carruth.
>>79760410
I see. Perhaps: I can't think of any who has made only original works.
>>79760073
Chong?
>>79760413
Upstream Color is based on Troilus and Cressida.
Directors these days are such scumbag hacks, can't even write their own films so they have to steal some old outdated ideas. Only original ones are Ridley Scott, Mel Gibson and David Lynch.
