So... All of Christopher Nolan's movies are made under one single company? Riiiight? Your analogy of the director overseeing every aspect of production would seem to fall apart real quickly in the real world where the credits scroll and scroll and scrooooooool with lists of separate companies that helped make the movie magic. In the Serenity commentary, for instance, Josh Whedon even mentioned their effects company added in extra unasked for unpaid for stuff because they believed in the movie so much. The Niarada's big warp jump away from Earth in Star Trek (2013) was similarly said to have been extra effects work done by the effects company. (ILM on that one?)

That, and it's not like the best and most talented never have to scrap things and start over. Surely you're familiar with the various back stories of several of the Pixar movies hitting the crisis point ( with the original Toy Story even having been temporarily cancelled at one point!). Same for any number of games, Halo 2 and Tomb Raider (2013) being the two I'm most familiar with. Even creative projects with the best talent and management have problems, lose key people or fire them (Brave, The Good Dinosaur) have the director go back and rewrite major parts of a work (Inside Out!).

What makes Bubgie so different? (Other than they didn't really pull Destiny off after the crisis like the above examples or Halo 2)
