Why does the Producer matter? They're just the wallet That's not really true. You're thinking more of executive producers. The actual producer gets to make a lot of production decisions (hence the name). They can easily shape the entire tone and of a film. They can approve scripts, decide who gets cast (or what sort of person they're looking to cast), decide who directs, decide who edits, decide where and when to shoot, decide how much money can be spent, and generally stamp their personal vision all over things. Yes, they mainly handle the business aspects on a movie once filming starts, but they can still push for creative input as well. Hence Kevin Smith's famous story about Jon Peters wanting people to put giant spiders in his films (for some reason): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Peters#Superman Peters is actually a pretty good example of how a bad producer can utterly ruin even IPs that seem completely slam-dunk or otherwise perfect. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
