I was reading about the writing credit dispute between the director on Selma and the writer. Basically it's not a WGA thing and the original writer had a contract that states he will be sole writer. The director ended up doing a page one rewrite and wrote all the speeches in the story and wants to share credit. The writer says %$#@ that basically.
Question: in studio and WGA productions what's stopping a director from doing that all the time if they want a writing credit?
