| Posted: | | | | Came across a credit for Screenplay Adaptation by. The other writing credit is for Novel by.
Does the Screenplay Adaptation by credits get credited? |

| Posted: | | | | If there are only two writing credits, and one is "Novel by" (which gets OMB) and the other is "Screenplay Adaption by" then I would say yes, that is a Screenwriter credit.

Rule is clear : For each category, include only those people credited with the roles listed in the "Role" and "Credited As" columns. So not in the list -> no contribution. | | | Images from movies |

| Posted: | | | | Just to note, in the program itself when one chooses Screenwriter it states in the area above Credited As "adapted screenplays".
So doesn't a "Screenplay Adaptation equal adapted screenplay? |

So doesn't a "Screenplay Adaptation equal adapted screenplay? I've understood that for online database we contribute only author of original screenplay, am I wrong? | | | Updated List of Accepted Birth Years |

| Posted: | | | | Should it be listed? Yes. This is exactly who we're after: the person who turned the novel into a screenplay. Can it be listed? Can of worms... Quoting CubbyUps: Quote: Just to note, in the program itself when one chooses Screenwriter it states in the area above Credited As "adapted screenplays".
So doesn't a "Screenplay Adaptation equal adapted screenplay? I daresay it does, yeah. | | | Last edited: by T!M |

Does the Screenplay Adaptation by credits get credited? Yes, it gets credited. The addition of the word 'adaptation' does not change the fact that this is a screenplay by credit which is in the crew chart. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
