I would say they all get OMB if they've all been considered worthy of a credit in Chloe.

Edit: in this particular case I would probably credit Anne Fontaine twice and use "custom role" to show the difference in my local at least.

As this is a writing credit, I would not give the director an OMB credit.

But the "Original Material" need not be written. It's not up to us to decide whether the director did enough to warrant an OMB credit. She's credited in the film with contributing to the original material, that's all we need to know.

You will note that I did not say he couldn't give the director and OMB credit, only that I would not.

But again you have no idea what the film-makers of Chloe were thinking when they gave the director a credit. She could have come up with some dialogue on the day of filming they wished to use, they could have been inspired by the way certain scenes were shot or paced. There are many ways the film-makers of Chloe could have been inspired by the first film, not just by the words in the script.

The important thing is the film-makers decided that she did enough to warrant an OMB credit. Of course as with Martian you're free to contribute what you want, but to make a blanket statement that directors shouldn't get OMB credits seems a bit misguided to me.

But they did give her an OMB credit.

Based on the motion picture "NATHALIE" directed by Anne Fontaine

There have been plenty of other remakes, reboots etc. where the original director hasn't been credited like this, so that credit was given for a reason. It's not up to us to dismiss it out of hand.

It seems to me that you are trying to ascribe meaning to the credit that is unwarranted, not me.  I'm not dreaming up some concept that she may have contributed in a way other than being the director.

I agree with hal on this.  The film makers did not give her an OMB credit as there is no such thing.  OMB is a made up credit.  Does anybody else use OMB?  I haven't found it anywhere but Profiler.

I always thought the sentence in the rule table "Adated from another medium" to mean that the movie being contributed is based on just another piece of art. Not that 'another medium' excludes every other movie it might be based on and makes them ineligible for credit.

If that really is the case, then... well, I was just seeking for opinions on the matter. It seems I'm not the only one to whom the wording of the rule wasn't 100% clear cut. Anyway, thanks for your condescending attitude, Skip. 

Then, one might argue, that since the screenwriters of "Nathalie" are mentioned by name in "Based on [anything] by"-credit, we could give them OMB because the screenplay (for Nathalie) is certainly 'another' medium than movie... Shoe-horning the issue? Maybe.

Anyway, I think these kinds of OMB credits should be allowed to be entered, as they IMHO add valuable information to the data - just as any OMB credit (for e.g. book adaptation) do.

If the rules, as they stand, do not allow them, then I would like to see the rule changed in this regard - and I don't think I'm alone.

Screenwriters (and perhaps directors) to a movie that later turns out to be a basis for another movie, in my eyes, should be in same position as any author, whose book does the same, as far as OMB credits go.

That's the way I've always read it too. The rule says "another medium" not "a different medium". There is absolutely no reason to ignore OMB credits when they refer to an earlier film.
