Aaron Eckhart looks for no-nonsense directors

Actor Aaron Eckhart says he prefers working with directors who have a strong vision.
The 45-year-old 'Dark Knight' actor has teamed up with a host of top filmmakers including Christopher Nolan, Jason Reitman and Steven Soderbergh in the past, and says his main criteria for choosing new projects is being confident in the director's strong point of view, reported Contactmusic.
"I look for directors who can beat me up. A great example of that is Antoine Fuqua in 'Olympus Has Fallen'. I like strong directors who know how to tell a story," Eckhart said.
While the actor has taken on a myriad of different characters throughout his career, one thing he is adamant he would never do is to put on an English accent.

"I don't think I would ever do an English accent; I don't think I'm very good at accents. Usually I'll prepare an accent and then at the start of the movie the director says, 'Why don't we just do it in your real voice'?" he said.
