| | Posted: | | | | I have come a cross a credit that I am not sure how to deal with. This is for 'I Am Legend'.
Here are the credits:
Screenplay by Mark Protosevich and Akiva Goldsman
Based on the Screenplay by John William & Joyce H. Corrington
Based on the novel by Richard Matheson
The first is, obviously, a Screenwriter credit.
The third is, obviously, an OMB credit.
My question is on the second. The words 'based on' tell me that it should be an OMB credit, but I want to be sure. Opinions please. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | I agree. The movie in question is based on both the previous screenplay and the novel, so both the second and the third credit should be entered as OMB. |

| | Posted: | | | | came to the same conclusion "based on Screenplay" is one of the sources so OMB | | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted. Please include the sources for your changes in the contribution notes, especially for cast and crew additions. |

| | Posted: | | | | My first thought was "Screenwriter", but Martin had a point with his comparison which convinced me.
So: OMB should be correct | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
