Phil Lord used this quote to explain it: “Design in nature is but a concatenation of accidents, culled by natural selection until the result is so beautiful or effective as to seem a miracle of purpose.” Which is perfect, because they really are great at that natural selection.

But they never got that chance to even get in the edit, and I really believe it's because of that bullshit myth. Whoever had that gossip just flat out didn't understand the creative process. And worse, it sounds like disney didn't either.

And I worry it all caters to this top-down thinking "If it doesn't look and sound exactly like star wars 77" then it's not what we want. Like any addiction, trying to recapture that high, but always to less and less results. For how many times can you remake that damn movie? /FIN

Again, this is really much less about the on-set gossip and dynamics. I don't care. I just care about how we view and talk about creativity.

Uh, and also perfectionism bordering on OCD? Let's not be either/or. There's ample evidence to suggest he did dozens and dozens of takes to get incredibly minor details "perfect." Same with Fincher.
