Teaser question coming up shortly.

[turnipsock]

Teaser question.

http://i3.tinypic.com/6cqriwo.jpg

Which famous film director is this and what film is this?

[Ian Mac]

I'll try James Cameron making Titanic. (not sure though)

[Pondgirl]

Certainly looks like Cameron but there are no clues as to which film

[turnipsock]

It's not Cameron.

There is a clue once you get the director (the one in the middle in front of the camera).

[Meadow]

Is it Ridley Scott?

[Lovewood]

Mike Leigh?

[Ian Mac]

Meadow, if it's Ridley Scott, he was the director on 'White Squall' in 1996. I wonder.

He was also executive producer for the TV production 'The Gathering Storm' in 2002.

[turnipsock]

It's not Ridley Scott or Mike Leigh.

He was in the top 40 of the Greastest Director of all time as voted by Entertainment Weekly.
