Screenwriting for movies is a weird job. Even though the screenwriter is the person conceiving the blueprint for what a movie is going to be, they really don’t have much say over the finished product. In fact, there was a well known Hollywood screenwriter in the 1990s who insisted that he wanted written on his gravestone - “I did it their way”. Another defined the movie writing process as “one person writing the script and 100 people being brought on to fuck it up.” Sometimes, this is true. Other times, those 100 people can make the screenwriter look better than they actually are.
