Directors Who Disagreed With Producers Over Major Decision-Making

Tweet

Maybe 5 months into a movie the producer has had a few clunkers at the box office and tells his current director "Gotta need a happy ending" or any story of examples of producers and/or studio heads insisting on changing a story regardless of what a director says. Many times, a director has an actor in mind, while the movie studio have their preferences. That happens all the time; but some directors are receptive and I'm curious of the directors who were strongly against a decision, but who's names are still attached movie (and not fired/quit). I'm talking about directors who did NOT get their way and who were vocal about it.
