The producers are going to be destroyed because of the writers and actors working on the line together. My example - Frank Grillo and Joe Carnahan. They met on the set of The Grey (another fun movie) and groused about how nobody would make the movies they wanted to. So they formed their own production company and have made several movies. The best of which is Boss Level.streaming on Hulu.

The costs have dropped to much that a good B-movie can be made for $50 million, even with special effects. So why pay a producer money when the creative talent can do the production. There will be a lot more of these because the writer-actor-director will always be better than just a producer.
