Ultimately a film is what the director creates. If the writing wasn’t good it’s up to them to figure something out how to improve it. If the producers try and force changes it’s up to the director to either make them fit or convince them otherwise.

I will say, however, that even the best directors can get fucked by bad editing. I mean, how many versions of Blade Runner are there (and how many of them are actually good)?
