Frank Darabont Prepared To Fight For Indiana Jones Writing Credit

It has been rumoured that Frank Darabont is now pushing for writing credit after “wasting a year” writing Indiana Jones 4, only for his script to be ditched in favour of Spider-man scribe David Koepp. Apparently, both Darabont and Keopp’s screenplays are very similar. Frank Darabont has said he expects a fight,

“I haven’t read the script, [but] at a certain point I will because I’m sure there will be an arbitration over writing credits. I keep hearing from people who are near the production and they keep saying, ‘You know, they’re using more of your ideas here than you may have thought. “I did suggest to Steven that he cast John Hurt in this movie and I’m delighted that Mr. Hurt is a part of it. It’s not entirely the role I suggested him for … but I did suggest him.”

Darabont went on to admit he didn’t write the part that Shia LaBeouf plays in the film, “That’s a whole new element that’s been brought in. Shia? I don’t remember writing that character.”
