Fred Durst, more than just a guy who screams into a microphone
Filed under: RumorMonger, Newsstand
According to an interview with MTV.com, musical yeller Fred
Durst is very serious about starting a film career - and he wants to direct, dammit. Despite the fact that people
are apparently lining up to have him in act in their projects (he was in NBC's Revelations miniseries, and also appeared with Jeremy
Sisto in Population 436, and indie film that just finished shooting in Canada), Durst is
determined to be behind the camera. Sure, so far his
only non-video directorial work was on Unquestionable Truth, a 30 minute short that appears on a Limp Bizkit
release. But he does have a couple of full-length features in the works. Though he won't name the films, Durst has long
been associated with Runt, a drama "about
a high-school outcast," and a thriller called Joe.And make no mistake: the man is setting his sights high. "I want to make timeless movies. I want to be beside Martin Scorsese and Wes Anderson and Paul Thomas Anderson and Francis Ford Coppola. I'm a real director." Dang. Well, you certainly can't accuse Durst of lacking ambition.

The diffference my friend, is that everyone you have mentioned has ALREADY made movies - WE, the viewing community, do the 'lumping with other names,' you can't do it yourself.
Let's see some films, and maybe we can start to put you in the likes of the Andersons. Then after about 15-20 years, maybe Scorcese and Coppola.

I believe Fred was misquoted there. The full quote was, "I want to stand beside Martin Scorsese and Wes Anderson and Paul Thomas Anderson and Francis Ford Coppola, minus their talent of course." He just likes to be near real directors- isn't that sweet?
