Hollywood isn’t as “elite” as they make themselves out to be. It’s full of “that guy who makes the shitty subway sandwich but shows up on time so they don’t fire him”. Goyer is that guy. He’s probably likable, at least by Hollywood standards, and comes in at or under budget. Hollywood isn’t full of Chris Nolans and Martin Scorseses, there are plenty of Goyers that get work. It just so happens that Goyer is a nerd, and he keeps fucking up the nerd footlongs.
