Gavin O'Connor is an interesting Hollywood case study, with a career making the kind of mid-budget movies — “Warrior,” “Miracle,” “Pride and Glory” — that major studios have been moving away from in recent years. This fall, he showed he could be blockbuster material, scoring a hit with the dumb but kinda fun “The Accountant,” and as he result, he got the keys to “The Green Hornet” reboot. And now on his dance card is a WWII movie that has all the trappings of a prestige picture.
