Ron Howard reveals he does not watch his own hit movies
Filmmaker Ron Howard, who has put in many decades in Hollywood and has churned out classics including ‘Cocoon’ and ‘Backdraft’, has said that he refuses to watch his hit movies.
Filmmaker Ron Howard will direct and produce the contemporary economic drama film Hillbilly Elegy, based on author JD Vances bestselling memoir.
Vance's book recaps growing up in the Rust Belt and the everyday struggles of the US' white working class as they navigate through drug addiction, and social and economic challenges, reports variety.com.
Supported by his grandmother, Vance developed a deep appreciation for education that laid the foundation for him to rise out of poverty and its cultural restraints.

"Hillbilly Elegy is a powerful, true coming-of-age memoir by JD Vance," said Erica Huggins, President of Imagine Entertainment.
"Through the lens of a colourful, chaotic family, and with remarkable compassion and self-awareness, JD has been able to look back on his own upbringing as a ‘hillbilly' to illuminate the plight of America's white working class, speaking directly to the turmoil of our current political climate," Huggins added.
