Creator Chosen Casting is when the casting of an adaptation is influenced by the creator of the work being adapted; "director chooses the cast of the movie he's directing" is not in itself a trope

* CreatorKiller: Though not an outright flop, the film did underperform financially and received largely mediocre critical reception, the biggest criticism being that, by 1987, Brooks was now trying to catch up with trends (''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' was four years old by that point and ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' wouldn't debut until a few months later) rather than simply make funny movies. Considering that Brooks had spent the previous 20 years making some of the most beloved comedies ever, the effects of these reviews were felt significantly greater and his filmmaking career saw a slow, steady decline for the next eight years before he retired in 1995.
