Social Which American filmmaker could even make a big budget patriotic and fun movie about the founding of the US?

[Nizam al-Mulk]

Who are the experienced filmmakers who even like the US or at least its early history and have the juice to protect their project from being turned into misery porn or an apology?

Zack Snyder, but you'll have to wait for the director's cut for the true vision.

 

[Osculater]

Mel Gibson and Quentin Tarantino

Ken Burns

 

[Eusung]

The Patriot would have been a much better movie if Mel Gibson directed it instead of Emmerich.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

Oliver Stone.

You may want to check out of the cinematic masterpiece from the early 2000s called The Patriot. Starring Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger, one of the loser Baldwin brothers, etc.

Simplistic, made up history.

You’d need decent writers first and foremost

With the success of Hamilton, you'd think there'd be big $$ in making a big budget movie that follows the same basic pacing and plot--minus the musical.

But Hollwood is probably terrified to cast a non black man as anything other than King George.

You can find someone even if you have to turn a novelist into a scriptwriter.

But we need an Aussie telling the creation of America,

It’s what the people want!

So you want a fun, big budget blockbuster, that takes a complex, nuanced look at history?

I do not want fake history. Does not mean it has to be complex, but i can appreciate that.
