I Think The Dictator Director Is Based Upon Stories From The Past. I Don't Think Anyone Would Put Up With It Now. There Are A Lot Of People On A Film Set With Egos. So, To Be Completely Authoritarian, You'd Probably Have To Have A Reputation Like Kurosowa Or Somebody To Get Away With It.

I Do Think A Good Story In A Novel Is Fair Game And There's Nothing Wrong With Adapting That. It Sometimes Gets A Bit Facile Where They Think: "let's Get The Next Best-seller And See If We Can Turn It Into A Film."

I Don't Know If There's A Problem With Original Ideas... I Think A Healthy Film Industry Should Have A Good Supply Of Good, Original Writing.
