I have a question that may be too insider but I've always been curious. Maybe someone has insight. I'll use Ridley Scott's Robin Hood as an example. There were articles about the original screenplay being a total reworking of the Robin Hood story from the perspective of the sheriff. Sort of a CSI type of thing with RObin Hood being the bad guy. Apparently this is how the screenplay was sold. Of course, over the years of development, we got something completely different on the screen. And we know this happens all the time. When a screenplay is changed so much between the original sale and the final filming draft, why can't the original writers take back the original idea and re-use it? It sucks that an original idea that was initially what got it sold, gets completely wasted and thrown out the window forever just because the screenplay has to appease the star, director, producers, etc. I would think that legally there should be a point where the final draft is so different from the original that it should be considered a different piece of work.
