RE: Perhaps it doesn't occur to you and the other guy that

>> Well, you could respond to what I wrote. At no point in my post did I write what directors had final cut in "mega-budget Hollywood productions." Believe it or not, most Hollywood films are not "mega-budget Hollywood productions." I was specifically thinking of Martin Scorsese, who, in an interview, commented that it took him many films to achieve that right. I have read that Spielberg has final cut. I would think he is powerful enough that if a studio did not give him final cut rights, then he could take his toys and go elsewhere. Or fund his own films. Also with final cut: Spike Lee, Kenneth Branagh, Jerry Bruckheimer. Others? Clint Eastwood, Woody Allen, Francis Coppola, Ron Howard, Ridley Scott, Oliver Stone, Robert Zemeckis, Jonathan Demme, James Brooks, Michael Mann, Anthony Minghella.>>

Robert Zemeckis had a legendary fued with Paramount over the final cut of Forrest Gump. Zemeckis made the famous phone call inwhich he told execs at Paramount that he was outside the gates of the studio where he planned to stay for the rest of his life. he didn't get the final cut. Ron Howard suffers through the proccess of having to recut after test screenings. Oliver stone has been saddled with this in a big way. Directors don't have cretive freedom like they used to. I don't know about Eastwood but he is doing reletively low budget stuff. Riddley Scott's films are most definitely test screened and cut accordingly. It;s far more common now than most realize.
