The kind of film that made him famous may be an endangered species, but he’s determined to adapt.
Ed Zwick, whose past films include “Glory” and “About Last Night,” tries to stay true to his vision in today’s Hollywood landscape. The director Edward Zwick recalls a cautionary tale he constructed for himself when was 30, and a newly minted member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
There’s something resonant about the fact that “Glory” came out a generation ago. Since that time, Zwick has navigated breathtaking changes in cinema — as industry, art form and self-contained culture — that easily could have derailed him, and have sidelined more than a few of his contemporaries. As a filmmaker dedicated to making mid-budget, adult-oriented movies, Zwick is operating within a business model dominated by superheroes.
He thinks back on the older filmmakers whose bitterness he’d witnessed as an up-and-comer — industry giants who had stumbled when the culture shifted under their feet. “They were marginalized because they wanted to keep doing the same thing again and again after the world had changed around them,” he says.
