    What modern director could do an "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" type anthology?

    This is something I've been thinking about recently...

    What modern director could be involved in an "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" type TV anthology?

    You need someone who has name recognition and a fairly recognizable style.
    And he or she (probably he) has to have enough free time and be prolific enough to introduce every episode, and direct a few each season.

    This show wouldn't have to be on network TV, and could easily be on premium cable.
    Sincerely,
    Thomas Mets

    Great question.

    Johnnie To. The guy has made 20 movies since 2000. I'm sure he could fit in a show with his output.

    PT Anderson. He has plenty of free time and is the exact opposite of To.

    Well, I'd say the most likely to do something like this would be MNS.

    Not saying the best, just most likely.

    They both lack the name recognition that a show like this one need to get off the ground.

    Wishful thinking on my part, I know.

    I thought maybe Anderson. He did do Boogie Nights.

    Really, there's only a few options if name recognition is to play a large role. Tarantino being one of them. Spielberg, Scorsese, Smith (ugh), Clooney, Eastwood.

    Honestly? I'd love to see a David Fincher series like this.

    But that particular wish is ignoring the reality that it could never, ever happen.

    Still, though... it'd be nice.

    There is only one person who came to mind: M. Night Shyamalan

Maybe tomorrow will be better for him."
