Philip Anschutz and Disney split the production cost 50/50. In addition, Disney's Buena Vista distribution arm and Disney's marketing costs will come off the top. Disney execs were on the set every day giving notes to the director. That's hardly an "outsider" film. There's a better case that Anschutz's "Ray" was an outsider project, since he put up all the production money himself, then sold it to the studio as a finished product.

Chill. The writer mentioned outsiders coming into Hollywood with their piles of money and the attitude that they're going to show people how it's done. This movie would not be what it is without his investment, due to his personal religious beliefs which he insisted be represented in the movie.

I never claimed this was an "outsider" film, so you berating me for doing so is false. I merely mentioned an example of an outsider who did just what the writer complained about.
