With that said, the four-time Best Director Oscar nominee hasn’t made a movie since 2010’s “The Way Back.” Why? Ethan Hawke seems to think he knows the answer. Speaking to IndieWire, Hawke claims Weir is retired and that the reason for it is quite simply because he got bored of filmmaking and the ego of certain actors: Hawke throwing a little shade towards Crowe isn’t surprising. During his peak years as an actor (1999-2007) Crowe had his fair share of anger issues. But Depp? Weird never made a movie with Depp. Weir was, however, attached to direct “Shantaram” starring Depp until he left the project due to “creative differences”. Is Hawke basically hinting that it was Depp’s fault that the project fell apart? Regardless, Weir is now 78 and currently resides in his home country of Australia. Maybe one day he’ll have to itch to un-retire, but time is definitely running out. Contribute Hire me
