"James Wong [...] (Dragonball Evolution)"

What? Are you serious??

Why are most of the directors (if not all) you have named are horror movies directors? You still have a few interesting choices though...

But well, while I'm at it, my picks:

Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, From dusk till dawn, Planet Terror, Desperado)

Tom Tykwer (Perfume: Story of a murderer, Cloud Atlas)

Sam Raimi (Evil Dead trilogy... anough said)

Eli Roth.. Although I undersand that his movies are really not for everyone. (Hostel part 1 and 3, Cabin Fever)
