That's clearly not going to happen here. The writers and director seem to have the same style of humor, and they're both working together. A GOOD movie has a symbiotic relationship with the writer and director. A bad one has the writer stick up a picture of the director on a dart board.
I hope that's the case. There have been some uneven efforts of late, but you can tell that when they get it going they really still have it.
