Final cut privilege is a film industry term usually used when a Director has contractual authority over how a film is ultimately released for public viewing. On nearly all occasions, only established and bankable directors are given such a privilege (such as Stanley Kubrick , Steven Spielberg , and Ridley Scott ). Before a film is released, studios will usually make changes for commercial purposes, or to remove any controversial content. Sometimes such practices can cause conflict between the director and studio releasing the film (see '' American History X ''). Even after a film is completed by a director with final cut privilege it may still be altered. The film '' Eyes Wide Shut '' was completed by Stanley Kubrick, who died before its release. Background actors were added digitally to an orgy scene to obscure sex acts, because the film had originally received an NC-17 rating while Kubrick was contractually obliged to deliver an R rating.
