| | Posted: | | | | Aside from unmistakeable "Screenplay By" and "Story By" credits, 'The Bourne Legacy' also features a credit for Robert Ludlum, and it reads: Quote:
Inspired by the Bourne Series Created By Looking through the CLT, it seems that about half of the profiles for 'The Bourne Legacy' list this as "Original Characters By", while the other half has it listed as "Original Material By". I'm fairly sure that I already know the answer, but I'm stuck with a profile using the other alternative, and I want to know whether I can "fix" that. So which is it? Just to be (more) complete, I've added poll options for "Created By" and "No Credit" as well. |

| | Posted: | | | | "Original Material by" could work since he wrote the book, but I would choose "Created By" because of the way the credit is writen. | | | | Last edited: by Jimmy S |

| | Posted: | | | | The entry that would match reality best would be OCB.
The entry that would match the actual credit best would be "Created By" or OMB, here I would prefer "Created By" since the "The Bourne Legacy" is not based on any of Ludlum's novels. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | My initial reaction was OMB but it's not based on a book (the title is taken from a book but that's all it has in common, and even so, it wasn't even written by Ludlum), I would go with OCB. OTOH, Created by could also work. It's a tough one. | | | | Last edited: by The Movieman |

| | Posted: | | | | Sounds kind of tricky. I think I would go with Created By since it at least is part of the credit.
Not really convinced by OCB. I don't think any of his characters even appear in this film. | | | My DVD/Blu-ray Collection

EDIT: So the question is: Are Ezra Kramer (CIA-Director) and Pamela Landy original characters? | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

| | Posted: | | | | I haven't seen it but if there are no original characters there can of course be no OCB credit. I read the credit to mean "Inspired by..." [a series of books] that was in turn "created by" Mr. Ludlum, so there's no valid credit for our purposes here. This is not a book profiler and "Inspired by" is just too vague for an OMB credit, imho. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

Good point!
How could it be OCB if none of the original characters is used. Good point indeed. |

| | Posted: | | | | It can't be OCB - not only if the characters are not his, but also because that isn't what the credit reads.
It can't be Created By - Ludlum did not create the film, nor the film series. He died in 2001.
Locally, I would use OMB, since this is what he did create - the original material the films draw on. However, this does not match the credit to the credit chart, so likely the best choice is no credit at all. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | For the online database I don't think any apply.
Since none of the original characters are present it really should not be OCB
Since it is not directly related to a body of work (inspired as opposed to based on) OMB does not fit
Since he did not create I don't thing Created By fits |

| | Posted: | | | | Reading some of the post I agree that it isn't really a contribuable credit so I change my previous vote for "no credit". |
