I think any response in this thread not related to writing credits is not justified. So may we get back on topic or take the discussion elsewhere? --------------- |

Since the definition of screenplay is "adapted from another work (book, newspaper/magazine article etc.), it can't be screenplay, so it has to be Writer. Actually, the definition of 'screenplay' is "the script and often shooting directions of a story prepared for motion-picture production." If you are talking about "for Profiler purposes," while the 'hint' in the program still says 'adapted screenplays', that definition is no longer in the rules. As I said earlier, the rules no longer make a distinction between adapted and original. The Profiler credit of Screenwriter is now a general Screenwriter/Screenplay/Teleplay credit and Writer is reserved for a credit of 'Writer' or 'Written By'. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. The Centauri learned this lesson once.

Now this is the definition of "Original Material" not "Screenplay". Adapted screenplay is what I was thinking. Somewhere between thinking and typing, I lost that thought. Screenwriter is the correct credit. | | | My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
