Mark Romanek is a guy full of surprises. The music video director behind icons like Fiona Apple's "Criminal" and Johnny Cash's "Hurt" made a feature-length splash with 2002's One Hour Photo, a creepy and well-shot thriller starring an out-of-character Robin Williams. After dabbling with a number of major studio projects in the following years-- including Universal's utterly doomed Wolfman remake-- Romanek seemingly took a hard left into prestige pictures, signing on to adapt Kazuo Ishiguro's acclaimed novel Never Let Me Go, about three friends growing up in an alternative reality version of rural Britain.
