And I worked on it for four years, right? And then with Oblivion, I'm just coming in to somebody else's script. I'm making little adjustments here and there. It just felt like two completely different kinds of writing. And so I thought, I'll just use a pseudonym for stuff that I'm doing.

If I'm not hired to do the full screenplay, if I'm only coming in and making adjustments to someone else's work, I just want to make a distinction between the writing I do as sort of an artist and the writing I do as sort of a craftsman, maybe.

You know, there have been scripts, a couple of scripts. I mean, Star Wars was one of them where I was given first position in the credits. You know, when they arbitrate what the credits look like, whoever contributed the most should be in first position in the credits. And I was offered first position in The Force Awakens.

I think that that final screenplay has maybe like three lines of dialogue that I wrote and the rest was rewritten by Larry and JJ. So, I mean, I think that the whole structure that we came up with is, I mean, again, like the studio decided I had contributed more to the final script than Larry and JJ, but I thought, you know, it doesn't feel like it's my story. Like, it's really theirs.

It's their characters. It's all their dialogue. So I elected just to step back and take second position in the credits. They probably appreciated that, I would say, right? Because they probably agreed with you, I would assume, right? Yeah, I feel like I was being a credit hog to try and be in first position when the sensibility that's reflected in the final film is more.

I mean, the story was what we all came up with together, but the sensibility reflected in the final movie is more Larry HHA than it is me.

It's a very sensitive subject, so I'm treading carefully here. I think that within the spectrum of optimism and pessimism... We'll use AI to make you sound better. So whatever you say now, we'll just redo it with AI. Don't worry. Good, good, good. Good, good, good. I think as a screenwriter, you kind of have to be an optimist. Here's an argument that I'll make.
