I don't really care who shepherded the film from start to finish, all I know is his name is on it, which means that he surely had input and approval on everything from the casting to the script to the finished product

Now whether that means certain events will be omitted (and don't ask "like what," I'm just speaking in general terms), I don't know, but I'm guessing he had more input on this than some of you would like to believe...
