I understand totally.
Not going to argue about artistic control when it comes to business (dollars and cents) but so you change the ending, is that going to automatically make you rich? The agent says "nah dont make it happy ending, blow the car up and fade to black."
Something tells me, no. Its just how the agent wanted it to end LOL Id love to hear what people like Steephen King etc feel about having an agent tell them change an ending... but hey, maybe he changes endings all the time when agent cracks whip on him, I dont know LOL
If I was at that point and agent was serious, id consider it I guess,... this is all hypothetical at this moment.
