I have two questions about this guy:
1. I understand FOX signed him to a two picture deal, and from looking at his imdb page I see that before that he'd only done music videos and a short. Isn't that kinda much to sign a guy to a two movie deal when he's done nothing much before that? I mean if a guy's done a good short you'd figure they'd give him a shot at a film, but not sign him to two movies outright, no?
2. This is the one that really puzzles me:
I heard that apparently Sony wanted Webb who, at the time, had done 500 Days of Summer for FOX and still had one movie to do for them, so in exchange for Webb Sony agreed to promote X-Men for free.
I don't get this, why would Sony go to such trouble to get a guy who'd done one film, not to mention that they are getting him for a superhero special effects film and the one move he'd done was a romantic comedy?
