It varies depending on what took place during production of the film. In many situations, it's studio meddling by the executives (like in the case for Brazil) that's to blame. Films get rushed to meet release deadlines or things are changed to become more commercially viable. Often times, it can be the director who was given carte blanche that resulted in a film while artistic, but too self-indulgent. In very few occasions, it is the actor like in the case of Tom Cruise with The Mummy who was given excessive creative control and the final cut privilege. Sometimes, it's both the studio and the director that's to blame, which is where the term "creative differences" seems to pop up. As of Schumacher, was it Warner Bros. that told him to put nipples on the Batman and Robin suits? Did he not tell the cast and crew that they were making a cartoon? Schumacher was told to lighten the tone, not to turn the franchise into a parody of itself. The studio certainly isn't blameless, but it was ultimately Schumacher's 'vision' and his desire to essentially recreate the 60s TV show on the big screen that doomed that film to its ignominious fate. |
