Why he's powerful: Gray is part of the elite club of Hollywood directors whose films have surpassed the $100 million mark at the box office. The attachment of his name to a project means that it will include A-list actors and a million-dollar budget. His filmography includes Be Cool, the 2005 sequel to Get Shorty that starred John Travolta, and The Italian Job, the 2003 film with Mark Wahlberg and Charlize Theron that was budgeted at $60 million and grossed $175.8 million worldwide. Because of its strong performance, Gray was tapped to continue Paramount's franchise, directing The Brazilian Job, which is expected to be released in 2008.
