A correct perspective. The executive producer will have power over final edits and/or additions. |
No he doesn't. Again it depends upon the contracts that s/he signed with the director, etc. For example, Quentin Tarantino has final cut (not "final edit") over all his movies, including video and DVD releases, not Lawrence Bender, the Weinsteins, etc. Quentin Tarantino. It was this creative control which allowed QT to decide to split Kill Bill into two parts, which allowed him to stop the production for an entire year to accomodate Uma Thurmans pregnancy.
As a matter of fact, QT is probably the only director given final cut for every movie he has released - RD, PF, JB, and KB... all of them are Tarantino's final (i.e. "directors" cut), which is why you won't find added scenes in the movies when they come out on DVD. Outtakes, yes, but no additional scenes added to the movies (like many Disney films will do with an additional song or three ala "Lion King" and "Beauty and the Beast").

Again, it depends upon the contract. Speilberg, Tarantino, Soderbergh, Zemeckis, all have final cuts on their films - at least, on those films that they properly negotiated (easy to do when your name is Speilberg, much harder when your name is Chris Columbus). Even Jodie Foster had final cut on her first movie, Little Man Tate.

Actors and actresses are not usually contractually granted the sort of creative control that a name director will demand, however when you're talking about your Tom Hanks' and your Julia Roberts', they can stipulate just how much screentime is spent showing their mugs. Again, it's all dependant upon how the contracts are worded.
Regardless, you are so wrong on the final cut issue. If we were having this discussion in the fifties, in the height of the studio system, you'd have a point. But we're not, so you don't.
