The Production Company pays for the production costs, so it is only normal the director bothers to keep them informed on how the process is going. However, like I said, there's many well-known directors who don't have to go to a lot of trouble to do whatever they think is suitable for the film and the ex producers will just give them green light to go ahead and proceed as they like.
