You all know the game. I think of someone and you ask questions to figure out who I'm thinking of to which I can reply only 'yes' or 'no'. Because I'm going to be thinking of anyone under the sun, you have any number of questions that is reasonable (i.e. not restricted to 20).

The people can be alive, dead, real (i.e. they actually once walked on this earth or are still walking today) or unreal (i.e. they are a character of some sort).

Alright: I'm thinking of someone.

Hmm, this is kind of misleading because the director has had several blockbusters. So, I'm just gonna say that when you ask about "the movie" I'll answer according to his most recent one.

urbanX: No.

edit: And when I say "blockbuster" I'm using the definition posted by Altariel of Dorthonion.
