| | Posted: | | | | I'm auditing the Wicker Man remake of 2006.
In the opening credits, Anthony Shaffer gets credited for "based on a screenplay written by", and he's in the existing profile.
Now the end credits start rolling, and I see this:

Do you think anyone else mentioned here should get an OMB? I'm leaning towards the book writer, but not the director of the original. |

| | Posted: | | | | OMB for both. The remake is based on the book and the screenplay. At least, that's the standard we used for Cape Feare. |

| | Posted: | | | | The remake, according to the credit shown, was based on the original screenplay. That screenplay, was based on the book.
That being said, the rules do not prohibit the entry of the original source material, so, I would go ahead and give him an OMB as well...plus, it just seems like the right way to handle it. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
