Title: Coyote Ugly (film)
Content:  Kevin Smith, who did an uncredited rewrite of the script, stated that a total of eight writers worked on the script while the Writers Guild of America only gave credit to Gina Wendkos, who wrote the first draft of the script, which, according to Smith, scarcely resembles the final film. (See WGA screenwriting credit system.) Jeff Nathanson wrote a draft that director David McNally credits as the draft that "brought the thing home"; Nathanson was credited on the initial theatrical poster but not in the finished film. Carrie Fisher also wrote a draft.
Title: The Evil That Men Do (film)
Content:  The movie's first draft was written by the novel's writer, R. Lance Hill (as per the terms of his contract). John Crowther was hired to rewrite the draft in the spring of 1982. Crowther was originally hired on a weekly contract, but when the producers realized the extent to which the script needed rewriting, it was drastically extended. Prior to rewriting the film's screenplay, Crowther had written the martial-arts, action movie Kill and Kill Again. Crowther had known Pancho Kohner—the movie's producer—for many years. It was Kohner who hired him to rewrite the script. In addition to this, Crowther had worked on Bronson's earlier movies. For example, he was an uncredited writer on Love and Bullets; and a casting director on 10 to Midnight. 
Title: David Mitchell (author)
Content:  Following the release of the 2012 film adaptation of Cloud Atlas, Mitchell commenced work as a screenwriter alongside Lana Wachowski (one of Cloud Atlas three directors). In 2015, Mitchell contributed plotting and scripted scenes for the second season of the Netflix series Sense8 by the Wachowskis, who had adapted the novel for the screen. Together with Aleksandar Hemon, they wrote the series finale of the television series Sense8. Mitchell had signed a contract to write season three of the series before Netflix's cancellation of the show. In August 2019, it was announced that Mitchell would continue his collaboration with Lana Wachowski and Hemon, as he would write the screenplay to The Matrix Resurrections with them.
Title: Conspiracy: The Trial of the Chicago 8
Content:  The docudrama was written, produced and directed by Jeremy Kagan for Inter Planetary Productions. Kagan wrote the script in 1979, and hoped to make the film in 1979; CBS commissioned a script but ultimately declined to make the film - the language of the defendants in court was unacceptable to the network, and Kagan said he believed the political issues also made the CBS executives nervous. The Los Angeles Times reports that Kagan, "his voice etched with emotion," recalled "[i]n 1976 I had Marlon Brando, Walter Matthau, George C. Scott and Dustin Hoffman committed to working on the project for scale and CBS turned it down. They thought the material was 
Title: Production of Watchmen (film)
Content:  In August 1986, producer Lawrence Gordon acquired the film rights to Watchmen for 20th Century Fox, with producer Joel Silver working on the film. Fox asked author Alan Moore to write a screenplay based on his story, but when Moore declined the studio enlisted screenwriter Sam Hamm. On September 9, 1988, Hamm turned in his first draft, but said that condensing a 338-page, nine-panel-a-page comic book into a 128-page script was arduous. He took the liberty of re-writing Watchmens complicated ending into a "more manageable" conclusion involving an assassination and a time paradox. Fox put the film into turnaround in 1991, and 
Title: Shadow in the Cloud
Content:  In January 2019, it was announced that Chloë Grace Moretz had joined the cast, with Roseanne Liang directing from a screenplay by Max Landis. Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Fred Berger, Kelly McCormick and Tom Hern would serve as producers under their Automatik Entertainment and Four Knights Film banner, respectively. In April 2019, Moretz announced the script had been rewritten several times following Landis's sexual assault allegations. Landis was also removed as a producer, with Liang rewriting the film. Due to Writers Guild of America rules, Landis receives credit for the script. That month, Nick Robinson joined the cast. During development, Liang turned to films 
Title: The Fourth Protocol (film)
Content:  Michael Caine read the draft manuscript of the novel and suggested to Forsyth that they produce a film together. They hired George Axelrod to write a script and John Frankenheimer to direct, but were unable to raise finance. Axelrod and Frankenheimer left the project, Forsyth wrote the script himself and they got a new producer and director.
Title: Chronicle (film)
Content:  Josh Trank had conceived the idea for Chronicle in high school and spent the following years generating ideas for the film. Up-and-coming screenwriter Jeremy Slater had collaborated with Trank while working on an unmade spec script. By 2010, Slater had moved on, leading to Trank contacting Max Landis, who agreed to co-write the film. The first draft of the script was written in three weeks after Landis had pitched the film behind Trank's back. Trank's original draft had the character of Steve being hit by a plane and dying in the middle of the second act. Landis removed this from his revisions, which "solved the entire second act". 20th Century Fox bought the rights to the project and greenlit the film with Trank serving as director in January 2011.
Title: Joe Somebody
Content:  John Scott Shepherd, who wrote the film's script, had previous experience in advertising as a film and video producer. Shepherd was inspired to write a screenplay about those experiences and the people who have to work behind the scenes in corporate America. "It occurred to me that we all expect to be special, if not famous," recalled Shepherd. The screenplay caught the attention of Kopelson Entertainment executive Matthew Gross, who first read the script while working on a television pilot with Shepherd. Gross passed the script on to his bosses, Anne and Arnold Kopelson, who gave Gross full support with the project. The 
Title: It's Pat
Content: I resisted it completely. I just didn't know how we could make it last for two hours. But 20th Century Fox was really keen; our producer was really keen. So we thought, OK, we'll write the script. And after three months, we fell madly in love with the script. Unfortunately, Fox did not. The film was written by Sweeney, Jim Emerson (Sweeney's friend from their days with The Groundlings ), and Sweeney's former husband, Stephen Hibbert. While at the Groundlings, Emerson suggested that the character Pat, at the time a "character based on annoying co-workers who don't leave you alone", be made androgynous. Three months before the film's release, Sweeney commented on her initial reluctance to do a film based on Pat:  Touchstone Pictures decided to produce the film, after Fox bowed out. Quentin Tarantino revealed that he was an uncredited writer on the script.
