Writers are looked upon on movie sets as something only slightly more important than stuff you scrape off of your shoes. If you want to have ANY significant amount of say or influence over the process you need to either be putting up a good chunk of the money, be the director or maybe a producer. Odds are you need to be the director to really have any influence. For some reason a good script is one of the things Hollywood is generally the least willing to invest in.Still you can't ever say it's impossible. Look at what they did with Battlestar Galactica and Fellowship of the Ring. Of course for everyone of those there's a dozen Psycho Remakes or Johnny Mnemonic.</blockquote>
