Short Circuit remake in the works

It's even worse then that. I have a conceptual story telling class and my teacher is someone whose been around the film scene for awhile. He told us he had some writer friends who write scripts and sell them off to studios. They told him they get screwed out of credit on movies because the studios buy their script and 20 or so other scripts of the same type of movie and combine them together into one script.

So the guy who writes the finial is just taking the best scenes out of each script and mashing it into one. That was quite shocking to find out. So his words of advice were "Never become a writer in Hollywood, you'll get screwed." Guys an awesome teacher. Never pulls punches when he's lecturing just speaks his mind.
