I guess Adventures in Babysitting, Home Alone, and Mrs. Doubtfire will carry director Chris Columbus forever (the Harry Potter movies don’t count; they were successful because they were Harry Potter). Despite having almost three times as many flops as hits, Columbus continues to get work. He’s attached to direct a remake of the Korean comedy Hello Ghost and now Deadline reports that he’s in talks for the action comedy The Secret Lives of Road Crews. The story is “about a clandestine group of road crew workers who are the last line of defense against a subterranean alien race.” I expect and demand plenty of traffic cone-based humor.
Kevin Lund and T.J. Scott wrote the original script, Craig Mazin (The Hangover Part II) did a rewrite and now the script is out again to writers for a new rewrite. To the writer that gets the gig, remember: that “Stop/Slow” is comedy gold.

Of course Harry Potter counts!!! He started the whole franchise. If his films failed, it would have been the end of the series. He helped pick the actors that made the series great! Can you at least once, give someone credit!
“Columbus continues to get work.”
At least he gets to direct movies and not sit all day talking about them!
