According to an article on Yahoo's Summer Movie Guide, director Matthew Kassovitz wasn't pleased with the way his new movie, Babylon A.D. turned out. Kassovitz is an award winning director in France. In an interview with SciFi Scanner, Kassovitz states:

"It's pure violence and stupidity," he admits. "The movie is supposed to teach us that the education of our children will mean the future of our planet. All the action scenes had a goal: They were supposed to be driven by either a metaphysical point of view or experience for the characters... instead parts of the movie are like a bad episode of 24."

Wow that is sad, it sounds as if the producers are rewriting his scripts and using Matthew good name to sell it...
Seems like there should be a law, or some kinda legal recourse for Matthew but I don't guess there is...
Well I for one think there should be... But I guess it like a painting, if you buy a painting
you can paint over it if you want... Its yours to do whatever you want...

Some old guys that has owned and maintained old cars and such, have gone to lengths before selling them. To make sure the people who buy it really have a keen interest in preserving and maintaining "it" in the same manner. Sometimes, good ideas with messages are worth to sit on even if it means it's hard to sell it, just to make sure it stays unaltered.
