Producer , who had previously helmed Disney's live-action fairy tale reboots, met with Sanders and selected him to direct Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) as his feature debut, citing the director's ability to deliver epic, stylized visuals in constrained formats. This decision came despite Sanders having no prior narrative feature experience, positioning him at the helm of a production with a reported budget of $170 million. To secure the role, Sanders relocated to and proactively pitched his vision by assembling a comprehensive visual package, including a three-minute proof-of-concept that outlined his intended aesthetic and tone for the project, which he presented to executives. This approach bridged the gap between his commercial background—where projects typically lasted 30 to 60 seconds—and the demands of a full-length feature, emphasizing scalable elements like production design and that he had honed in . The industry viewed Sanders' hiring as a bold, untested gamble, with some questioning the leap from short-form content to managing a sprawling ensemble cast, extensive location shoots, and complex CGI integration on a blockbuster scale.

Key films and reception

Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)

The film reimagines the in a setting, centering on Princess (Kristen Stewart) who escapes her evil stepmother Queen (Charlize Theron) and allies with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) tasked with her assassination. occurred from August to November 2011 in , , and , incorporating practical locations like ancient forests and castles to ground its visual effects-heavy sequences. The production emphasized innovative visual effects, including the Queen's liquid-metal magic mirror created through a combination of practical stand-ins filmed with high-speed cameras and digital compositing for its ethereal, humanoid form. Other effects featured computer-generated trolls, shattering glass soldiers, and expansive battle scenes handled by studios like Pixomondo and BlueBolt, contributing over 270 VFX shots that enhanced the film's gritty, immersive aesthetic. Released on June 1, 2012, the film earned $155.3 million in and $396.6 million worldwide, surpassing its budget and prompting Universal to a . Critically, it holds a 48% approval rating on based on reviews, with praise for its production design, visual spectacle, and action choreography, particularly Hemsworth's physical performance and Theron's commanding villainy, offset by criticisms of uneven pacing, weak scripting, and Stewart's unconvincing lead portrayal. Reviewers noted the film's strengths in atmospheric visuals and set pieces but faulted its narrative inconsistencies and derivative plotting. This commercial viability solidified Sanders' transition from commercials to blockbuster filmmaking.

Ghost in the Shell (2017)

Rupert Sanders directed the 2017 live-action adaptation of , based on Shirow's series of the same name, which explores themes of cybernetic enhancement, identity, and in a dystopian future. The film stars as the protagonist, a operative known as Major in the source material, with a of $110 million. It grossed $169.8 million worldwide, recouping its budget but falling short of blockbuster expectations after accounting for marketing costs. The adaptation retained core visual motifs from the , such as neon-lit megacities and holographic interfaces, while streamlining the philosophical elements for a broader audience. Casting Johansson, a Caucasian actress, as the Major sparked accusations of whitewashing, given the character's Japanese name and depiction in Shirow's as a native of with East Asian features in her cybernetic shell. Critics argued this erased Asian representation, though the film's narrative reveals the Major's human origins as a Japanese whose was transplanted into a synthetic body, aligning partially with the manga's around in a context. , director of the influential 1995 adaptation, defended the choice, stating there was "no basis" for whitewashing complaints since the Major's physical form is an "assumed one" for a unbound by biological origins. Sanders emphasized performance over , prioritizing an capable of conveying the role's existential depth amid Hollywood's commercial imperatives for star-driven . Reception highlighted the film's visual fidelity, with praise for its cyberpunk aesthetics, including detailed CGI cityscapes and practical effects that evoked the manga's atmosphere, earning acclaim from effects supervisors for blending digital and tangible elements. While some reviews critiqued deviations from the source's intellectual rigor, attributing them to Western studio priorities, the global —bolstered by strong international earnings despite domestic underperformance—demonstrated sustained interest in the franchise's themes beyond cultural origin debates. This outcome underscores anime's cross-cultural adaptability, where fidelity to conceptual essence often outweighs literal representation in achieving commercial viability, countering narratives of inherent representational failure with empirical audience data.

The Crow (2024) and subsequent works

Sanders directed The Crow (2024), a reimagining of James O'Barr's 1989 graphic novel, starring Bill Skarsgård as Eric Draven, FKA twigs as Shelly Webster, and Danny Huston in a supporting role. The film, produced with a budget of $50 million, follows soulmates murdered on Devil's Night who seek vengeance, with Draven resurrected by a crow to confront their killers. It premiered in New York City on August 20, 2024, and received a wide theatrical release in the United States on August 23, 2024, distributed by Lionsgate. In interviews, Sanders described his vision as a "gothic goth movie" centered on a dark, emotional love story exploring love, loss, and , emphasizing elements and over direct replication of prior adaptations. He positioned the project as a distinct reimagining rather than a or to the 1994 film, denying reports that its ending was altered to facilitate sequels and asserting the narrative's completeness. Sanders highlighted influences from the original comic while innovating on visual style and thematic depth, aiming for an R-rated tone blending romance and intense violence. Upon release, garnered mixed to negative reviews, with critics citing dreary pacing, underdeveloped characters, and tonal inconsistencies amid graphic violence. It holds a 22% approval rating on based on 138 reviews, with consensus noting insufficient personality to justify the revival. Commercially, the film underperformed, opening to $4.6 million domestically and grossing $24.1 million worldwide against its $50 million budget, marking it a . As of October 2025, Sanders has no confirmed feature films in production following The Crow, though he has indicated openness to exploring additional stories in the universe with Skarsgård if viable opportunities emerge, without committing to immediate sequels.

Controversies

2012 affair with Kristen Stewart

On July 23, 2012, tabloid magazine Us Weekly published photographs depicting Sanders kissing and embracing Kristen Stewart in a Los Angeles park, confirming an extramarital affair between the two that had occurred while filming Snow White and the Huntsman earlier that year. At the time, Sanders had been married to model Liberty Ross since August 30, 2003, and they shared two young children: daughter Skyla (born 2004) and son Tennyson (born 2006). Stewart, then 22, was publicly dating actor Robert Pattinson, her co-star from the Twilight series. Sanders issued a public apology on , 2012, stating he was "utterly distraught" and expressing regret to his wife, children, and everyone affected, while describing the incident as a "momentary lapse." Stewart followed with her own statement the same day, admitting the affair as an "indiscretion" for which she was "deeply sorry" and reaffirming her love for Pattinson. The revelations drew intense media scrutiny, temporarily halting promotional activities for Snow White and the Huntsman, which had premiered on June 1, 2012, and amplifying public fallout amid the film's ongoing box-office run. Stewart and Pattinson briefly separated but reconciled publicly by late September 2012 before permanently parting ways in May 2013. Ross filed for divorce from Sanders on January 25, 2013, citing irreconcilable differences, after initially attempting reconciliation; the marriage was formally dissolved in July 2014, with joint custody awarded for their children. Despite predictions of career damage from Hollywood insiders and media outlets, Sanders faced no evident long-term professional exclusion, securing subsequent advertising contracts and feature film directing opportunities, including Ghost in the Shell in 2017.

Adaptation and casting disputes

The primary adaptation and casting controversy surrounding Sanders' work arose with the 2017 live-action , adapted from Masamune Shirow's Japanese and series, where was cast as the , originally depicted as Japanese. Critics and fan groups accused the production of "whitewashing," arguing that selecting a white actress erased Asian representation in a story rooted in Japanese culture, prompting online petitions and protests that highlighted broader Hollywood patterns of prioritizing bankable stars over ethnic fidelity. Sanders defended the choice by stating he cast "very much from the gut," emphasizing Johansson's ability and suitability for the role's physical demands over strict adherence to the source character's . This position aligned with arguments from key source creators: original anime director contended there was "no real issue" since Kusanagi's shell lacks inherent racial markers, and her "ghost" () could derive from any background, as suggested in Oshii's own 1995 film where the character muses on non-Japanese origins. Manga creator Shirow reportedly praised Johansson's portrayal post-release, while producers noted precedents in Western adaptations of Asian properties, such as The Last Airbender (), where similar casting occurred without halting production. The film's global of $169.3 million against a $110 million budget represented underperformance relative to expectations for a high-profile IP, but Paramount executives attributed poor reviews and domestic opening ($19 million on April 1, 2017) partly to backlash, while other analyses cited competition from (which earned $50 million opening), inadequate marketing of the sci-fi elements, and studio distribution woes rather than alone as causal factors. Empirical evidence from comparable films, like (2009), suggests adaptation failures often stem from execution over casting optics, with 's visuals and effects praised despite narrative critiques. Earlier, Sanders' 2012 Snow White and the Huntsman faced backlash for casting average-height British actors (e.g., , ) as the dwarfs, enhanced via CGI rather than employing little people, which campaigners decried as discriminatory and led to threats of protests like a "100-midget march." Sanders justified this by prioritizing expressive performances and visual integration with the live-action cast over strict physical matching to depictions. Such disputes remained isolated, with Sanders' later projects like (2024) drawing general remake skepticism but minimal casting-specific contention, reflecting a directorial approach favoring narrative functionality and star power amid industry norms.

The arrangement reflects a commitment to co-parenting amid the prior public , though specific details on day-to-day interactions remain undisclosed, consistent with Sanders' preference for in familial matters.
