Well, when I say WB I certainly include Kloves into this  umbrella term, which I use quite loosely.

And if it is a standard way for screen writers to think, well, supposedly this is what Hollywood deems acceptable, right? This is something which Kloves thinks producers will agree with, etc, right?

I mean, the way I see it, it all goes together - producer finds director that will implement his vision, but which will be acceptable for producer as well and same for screenwriter IMO.
