So I was in a heated argument with someone today,
He was saying directors have the right to choose who they want for a particular movie. Agreed
But I told him even though directors can do that, If a film writer has someone in mind for that particular role, the director can't just say no. Maybe perhaps he/she has issue with such person.
The question now is "can Writers choose who they want for a particular role in movies "

Replies are need and thanks.

Dear OP, I'm an actor, creative writer/script writer and an up-coming producer. When I sell a script to a producer, the script belongs to the producer and it is left for the producer and his choosen director to decide what they do with the script and who to use, they only maintain my name as the script writer. However, a producer & his director may seek your opinion of the mental picture of the whole/part scenes or presumed cast of the movie but the producer's decision is final because he is the one spending the money for everything involved. The writer can only have power over which cast to use if the shooting/production is a business collaboration between him and the producer: director no even get power most times except he is part of the collaboration. Check my profile and contact me for your writing, acting and production services. Cheers dear.
