Josh Crockett
Josh Crockett’s got a filmography that’s honestly a little wild in its range—like, you look at Morbius (2022) and you’re thinking, “Alright, vampire shenanigans, Jared Leto being all broody, neon lights everywhere.” Not everyone loved it, but you can’t deny the guy’s got guts jumping into that Marvel-adjacent chaos. Then, flashback to Blade Runner 2049 (2017). That movie’s a whole different beast—moody, haunting, rain-soaked, with Ryan Gosling wandering around like he’s got the weight of the world on his shoulders (which, I guess, he kinda does). Crockett’s involvement in a film with that kind of visual punch and philosophical brain-bending is no small thing. It’s not exactly your popcorn action flick; it’s more like you watch it and then spend the next week muttering about AI and what it means to be human—real existential crisis territory.
Now, jump ahead to The Gorge (2025), which, let’s be real, not everyone’s seen yet. But there’s already buzz about it being something unexpected—like, it’s not just another genre piece. Word is, it’s got this blend of romance and action, which isn’t easy to pull off without getting cheesy, but apparently, Crockett’s found a way to keep it sharp. So, you look at all this and it’s clear—he’s not just sticking to one lane. He’s dipping into sci-fi, superhero, moody noir, and now mixing up genres again. Not every director can pull that off without losing their voice, but Crockett keeps you guessing—and honestly, that’s half the fun of following his work.
