Bryan Fuller quits Amazing Stories

[StCoop]

Three for three now. Who the hell would ever employ him again at this point?

Yeah, I have to say that doesn't look good for him. It's one thing if he had creative disagreements regarding the direction of a major franchise or creative disagreements with the author of whose work he's adapting or creative disagreements with the revival of a beloved anthology series. But to have those disagreements with all three? Yeah, that doesn't look good for him.

 

[Gepard]

Normally I'm inclined to side with the artists over the suits in cases like this, but three in a row? Fuller is the problem.

Alas. I'd really love to have seen his original version of Discovery.

Allegedly Neil was happy with the changes for American Gods, and was not why Fuller/Green were fired.

Bryan Fuller needs someone business-minded who can reign him in, because he's definitely able to produce some great things.
As far as I know, Hannibal was a fairly low budget show (which is why NBC kept it for so long.), but Fuller seems to want to do much more with a huge budget.

Bryan Fuller appears to be allergic to success. This is getting ridiculous. How many chances does he expect to get in this industry?

Ah, thanks for the correction. I hadn't been on Twitter recently so I hadn't seen Neil's comment on that article, which I foolishly trusted.

A suit speaks:
This is the third time we've pulled out the showrunner's chair for Fuller. He just won't sit down. Let me tell you something, Jean-Luc. There are a lot of young hotshots on their way up. Fuller could suddenly look like he's standing still next to them. He's hurting his career by quitting. If I were you, I'd kick him in the rear end for his own good.

Shocking. And in other news, water is wet.

 

[StCoop]

If Anne Rice needs someone to take over her TV show, I want through a brief Goth phase as a teenager, so I could probably give it a go.

Alas. I'd really love to have seen his original version of Discovery.

Just curious... thought I'd read that some elements of Discovery that he created remained in the final product. Be it main characters, pilot story, etc. Is this wrong or just an unknown quantity?

Fuller wrote the first episode and much of the second.

 

[Gepard]

An unknown quantity, after the first two episodes as Timby noted.. There's signs of tampering all over the place but it's impossible to know what was the original plan, what Fuller reworked, and what was reworked after he left.

Some basic ideas stayed, being set Pre-TOS and Mirror Universe in Season 1 are some of them.

He gave the design outlines for the Starfleet Ships, and was the one who wanted to re-imagine the Klingons and other known species, but I'm not sure if he approved the designs we got before he left.

As far as I know, Hannibal was a fairly low budget show (which is why NBC kept it for so long.), but Fuller seems to want to do much more with a huge budget.

Hannibal was expensive (to the point that some episodes took three weeks to shoot), but NBC kept it alive as long as it did because there was extensive financing from overseas production companies.

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

Seriously I can imagine the type of fits this guy throws when he wants his way. He's probably like a child.

 

[Snaploud]

Is Bryan Fuller just trying to scam his way into as many permanent executive producer/creator credits as possible? How much free money does he get for every episode of these shows that he left? He could be building up an early retirement pension fund consisting just of executive producer/creator royalties.

 

[Anwar]

Geez, I'm starting to see why this guy doesn't have a bigger career.

 

[Kronos]

Let this guy come up with ideas, don't let him run the show.

 

[Jayson1]

Maybe someday Fuller will quit on quiting shows. The question is will we ever quit on the desire to see him to stop quiting and stay with a show and make it awesome?

After all his cancelled shows, maybe he has a "Leave 'em before they drop you" mentality? You can't fire me, because I quit!
