After the premiere, Adrian left with Kate. Although he had provided the outline for the screenplay, the majority of the content was completed by the company's scriptwriters; he basically only supervised the direction. Hence, his name was listed at the end of all the scriptwriters in the end credits, making it unnecessary for him to attend the subsequent press conference.
This version of "Casper" differed in many ways from the one he remembered, specifically regarding camera language control—such deviations are normal, even if the same director makes the same movie twice—except for the perfectionist Adrian.
