25. ZACK SNYDER
AGE 41
JOB TITLE Director
SMART BECAUSE He reimagined the sword-and-sandal epic for a
new generation. Even
after Warner Bros.'
Alexander fizzled, Snyder
so wowed execs with his
vision of ancient Greece
that they greenlit 300 anyway. The film
grossed $456 million
worldwide, proving you
don't need big sets or
stars to make a blockbuster,
just pixels and
an imagination.
NEXT 2009's Watchmen.
DELICATE PALETTE Studied painting at London's
Heatherley's School.
