I thought that most big money hollywood films these days ..........

were made by committees and had most of their creative control in the hands of producers, actors, advertisers/product placement agencys. Directors may be responsible for the "look" and pacing of the film, but little more.
- contractual agreements about what brand of cigarettes the actor must smoke.
- that a can of coke must be in at least 4 shots (and the actor drinking it must be enjoying it).
- that actor so-and-so won't take the part unless they aren't portrayed as a hooker, eventhough it is a film about prostitution. But since the producers did a deal with the distributors that actor so-and-so had to be in it, the key plot lines must all be re-written to make key plotlines more acceptable for the actors.

I'm not a cynic!
It's nearly all about where the money comes from and who gets it back.

I think you are right!

Cheers
