I actually saw this film at a Cinefamily in LA, with the director David Gregory, and subject Richard Stanley. The information that they provided was instrumental in me understanding some of the craziness I saw onscreen. The film follows the work of Richard Stanley, a horror guru and visual artist who directed the underground films "Hardware" and "Dust Devil". He was slated to direct an adaptation of "Island of Dr. Moreau," but because of studio meddling, persistent bad weather, and hard to work with actors, he was booted from production and his career became nonexistent. What followed was a production that was filled with weird, ridiculous, fraught interchanges between the new director, Frankenheimer, and the actors.

It's hardly a surprise that the Hollywood productions that fall apart do so because of ego clashes, creative differences, and bad luck. However, I'm sure it rarely happens with the high degree of drama and strangeness that befell the '96 version of "The Island of Dr. Moreau". I have no idea what the movie would have looked like if Stanley was allowed to actually make it, but I'm certain that it would at least have been more watchable than the one we got.
