Say for example that you're an actor, and there's this part you're interested in. You audition for it and you receive it. You're obviously happy about it and can't wait for the movie's production to start since you come in later.
Line 12 ⟶ 13:
These sort of productions tend to range from complete disasters to the slightly more benign ones, but what they always have in common is frayed tempers, patience, screw-ups, delays and [[Creator Breakdown|breakdowns]]. [[Reality Subtext]] may happen too. Both [[Protection From Editors]] and [[Executive Meddling]] can exacerbate this phenomenon. [[Epic Movie]]s are particularly vulnerable to this. This trope always applies to small or start-up studios, due to how little experience the show runners or head businessmen have in running a new one.
'''Troubled Productions''' frequently will end up resulting in bloated, overindulgent disasters that become the laughingstock of public imagination, or something really, really awesome. In the former case the completely out-of-control production can serve as an explanation for why said work turned out like it is. And the latter just tends to make people admire the creators even more - hey, look, [[
A few of those overlap with, and may often lead to, [[Development Hell]] and [[Vaporware]], which is having trouble on starting the project. Others enter [[The Shelf of Movie Languishment]] after being finished. When concerning the music industry this can overlap with [[Music Is Politics]], where the politics of the industry leads to this trope.
