Re: Who knows better. Actor or creator?

No see, I'd be confronting the actor. If he is actually verbally contradicting me? I'm probably gonna see he gets replaced if I can wrangle that. And since any contract I'd ever sign for my baby would give me some healthy creative control, I probably can. Dude is either gonna shut the fuck up or fuck right off. I don't mind his fanon but I will not put up with the blatant disrespect to say the canon is wrong. I'm god here bitch.

I disagree here. Take Empire Strikes Back for example, weak characters by Lucas in the hands of actors who knew how to act, and a director willing to let actors act created magic. Kershner, Kasdan, Ford, and Fisher clearly knew more about Solo/Leia than Lucas did. I suspect that the prequels would have been a bit better if Lucas had let McGregor work through the character more.

The fact of the matter is that modern drama is a construction of shared interpretation, and if you're not going to let everyone else do their jobs in interpreting the script in order to create good performance, production design, stage craft, and cinematography, you don't understand drama and shouldn't be signing on the dotted line to release your work to a screenwriter (or illustrator, or comic book team).

Interestingly, Vonnegut was probably one of the few people to actually get this, saying, that adaptations must be adaptations or they "Won't be worth shit."
