They're making a movie called Cocaine Bear and it's not gay porn.

I think Charlie’s issues are almost 100% the script. Just not good enough. But also, it’s not like a second time *female* director can be too picky when given the chance to direct a feature in Hollywood.

 

Well, given she wrote the screenplay that isn't a point in her favor but I also think that was probably a difficult movie for her to make good given producer/studio-type stuff, especially with a female director.

She didn’t write an original script, she rewrote something that the studio had previously optioned. Honestly, probably worse than if she had just written something fresh! Frankenscripts are rarely the basis of good movies. Good script doctors are amongst the most rare talents in the business.

Definitely true but she is solely credited as the screenwriter (from a "story by" two other guys, which is what you're probably referencing) so she probably should have started fresh but when you are the sole credited screenwriter and director you are responsible for a lot of what we see on screen I'd say. Everyone gets at least one mulligan though either way.
