| Both of your counter-arguments to the objections you name are specious. For one thing, the creatives in this case didn't sign off on anything, though their heirs and assigns might have. It's not the same thing. It's like saying, "I spliced a few of the more pungent reels of Birth of a Nation into the master of Gone With the Wind because Ted Turner [who now controls the MGM classics library through various mergers and acquisitions] said I could. So it's okay. Margaret Mitchell, Victor Fleming, George Cukor, Sidney Howard and David O. Selznick all signed off on it." (Not that I expect Ted Turner would actually agree to something like that, but it's an analogy.) For the second, it's a strange counter-argument to suggest that doing violence to somebody else's show is excusable because hardly anybody is going to see it anyway. If hardly anybody is going to see it, then why do it at all? People don't normally write--or re-write--plays in the fond hope that nobody is going to see them. At the risk of repeating myself--but it seems I must--if you don't approve of the show you're producing, don't produce it. If you want the script to say something that it isn't already saying, find another show. Or write your own. |
