@DisneyMetalhead: Because things are easily lost in edit summaries, I thought I'd post this here. While the article prose calls out the writing contributions of Wiseman and Fennell, MikeAllen has pointed out that the Lionsgate info is currently only crediting Hatten with a full writing credit. This is probably the producer's take on the deserved credit that they submit to the writers and WGA for approval, arbitration, etc. I'd guess that Fennell will get an "Additional Literary Material" credit, but that doesn't go into the infobox (see Template talk:Infobox film/Archive 32#Additional Literary Material), and her contributions are covered in the prose already. We won't know until final credits are set. Additionally, the source added when Wiseman's "writing" contributions were added really only says Wiseman and Hatten were actively developing the script, not that Wiseman was necessarily writing. It could be that Wiseman was giving notes to Hatten, and Hatten re-wrote as necessary. Regardless, the same case with Fennell, final writing credits will let us know if he should be included in the infobox or not at a later time and if it should change from | writer= to | screenplay= | story= in order to accommodate. -2pou (talk) 17:44, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While I agree that we need to go according to the WGA screenwriting credits, we have no way of knowing for sure what that will be yet. I would have thought we would adjust the article at that point.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 02:19, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And now we have Emerald Fennell and Michael Finch added (by @ToNeverFindTheMets:) as screenwriters with a source to a Collider report stating "Emerald Fennell, who was hired by de Armas to punch up the script during shooting." and "McShane also praised the writing team of Michael Finch and Shay Hatten". We do not know who will get full credit. I'm not removing it, but I still think we should wait until a billing block is released. Mike Allen 01:10, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

de Armas stated in an interview with Elle Fennell was hired, and the OFFICIAL release is two years old at this point. When the billing block is released, we will change to what Lionsgate credits. Right now, McShane seems to be trustworthy enough to take his word for the ¨team¨, but I surely would love a billing block myself. Right now, as all is and can be understood at the moment, every piece of further information written is reflective of cited material; that expands on all that is fact, and nothing is contemptible or contradictory.
