Please continue to read my answer fully. In B, the director is well tied to make it clear by the pronoun – its - that it is Sunset III’s director (I had by mistake typed it as –his-)

There is no issue about the director part in D.- Director of - is good enough It is only the investors’ part which is simply dangling without a connection to the film Sunset III. Hence D is a shade lower than B

I wouldn’t think anything wrong with the idiom - director of -; But -investors of - is a bit jarring. - Investors in - is the right one as one normally -invests in - something, as in B.

Neither the director nor the investors in Sunset III predictss that it will earn more money than the other two “Sunset” films


Neither the director nor the investors in Sunset III predicts
Neither the investors in Sunset III nor its director predicts
The director of Sunset III, along with its investors, predict
Neither the investors nor the director of Sunset III predicts
Of Sunset III, neither the director not the investors predict

I feel too that B is better than D.
D - it is not clear investors of what, while in B "Sunset III" is placed near investor, and the pronoun "its" near director clearly refers to Sunset III, so it does not have any ambiguities...
