I just sold my 1st spec to a major studio, and now I'm working on a small rewrite with the producers and the exec. They are excited and pushing really hard to get the new draft ASAP. So I'm curious if the way we are working on this is standard in this type of situation.
In particular, one of the producers (who is also a successful writer) took it upon himself to rewrite a pivotal section of the script and propose it to me. And the studio exec came up with some lines of dialogue that they basically told me to put in. I actually like what both of them came up with, so I agreed put it in the script.
But is this common after selling a spec and moving towards greenlight? Feels a little weird having them actually write parts of the script, but maybe this is par for the course...
