First there was Sam, he had a big old hit with American Beauty and got an even bigger budget and star for his follow up with Road to Perdition.

Later there was Josie, who got to direct Mary, Queen of Scots with some classy names and then went on to the dizzy heights of...

And in the middle there was Michael, whose film directorial debut 'Genius' about the book editor Max Perkins had a cast including Colin Firth, Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, Laura Linney, Guy Pearce, Dominic West and Vanessa Kirby and a screenplay by John Logan - but it didn't even get a UK cinema release.

My AMAZING comment wasn't sarcastic. I'm genuinely impressed and happy for her. I just think it's funny in comparison. Oh, life!

I have to admit that's not quite what I expected her highly anticipated first post-Donmar project to be.

I recall her tweeting earlier this year about James Graham being late with a draft he owed her, which sparked speculation that they're working on some future project.
