Howdy, ED

Ask him to ballpark a percentage of original script gets through the studio approval process, that doesn't get re-written on the set, delivered in three or four variants by the actors before the editor picks one.

EXAMPLE:
100% - Original
80% - Studio
50% - Director
40% - Actor
30% - Editor

TIA!

Hello Ray.

Thanks for the question, apologies for the late answer.
Tom Holland was there for a showing of Cloak & Dagger.
So, he phrased his answer in reference to that particular film.
He was not too interested in talking about the soon to be rebooted franchises.

Psycho II was a commercial successs for Universal.
He reteamed with that director, Richard Franklin, for Cloak & Dagger.
Universal was very pleased with Psycho II (cost: $6m made: $30+m).
So there was virtually no studio interference on Cloak & Dagger.
However, due to a CEO change, the film received poor marketing and release.

Tom Holland got into writing through contacts he made as an actor in the 60s and 70s.
I know it doesn't directly answer your question, but it is what he said to me.

Regards,
E.D.

LOL!
Fantastic!
Lovely, ellucidating answer.
Thank you simply for asking the question, E.D.

Sounds like a variant of the PC answer Ed Pagan gave, but upon more consideration it's more like a political answer: reporter asks question A, polotico smiles while redirecting the question towards agenda answer B.
LOL! Love it.
