| | Posted: | | | | Agreed with VirusPil. OMB should be reserved for situation where they wrote a wrote a work it's based on fairly directly. An adaptation of Hamlet should credit William Shakespeare with OMB. I would give a prequel to Hamlet a different credit. OCB doesn't seem right because this theoretically could be done without using any of the same characters, which is the case with a lot of Star Trek stuff. | | | | Last edited: by Ace_of_Sevens |

Skip He's credited with a possessive as William Shakespeare's Hamlet, which I'm willing to accept as an OMB credit. | | | ...James

He's credited with a possessive as William Shakespeare's Hamlet, which I'm willing to accept as an OMB credit. Seems pretty logical that he did not produce or direct this movie, which would only leave us the option of crediting him with OMB, just like "Bram Stoker's Dracula" and "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein". | | | | Hal |

Personally, I think a "Based on "Star Trek" created by Gene Roddenberry" should get an OMB credit. I view it as similar to a "Based on an Idea by..." or "Based on a concept by...", both of which would get OMB credits.
In my personnel opinion this would one, on that also a OCB would be possible.
This is just my personnel understanding of these two credits:
OCB: Someone that wrote/had the idea of the original charactes, universe, ...
OMB: This one has to do something more: Some kind of idea of the whole story, ... I don't think you'll find any of Gene Roddenberry's characters in "Enterprise". | | | | Hal |

I don't think you'll find any of Gene Roddenberry's characters in "Enterprise".  Could have also been the 2009 movie. There it would match. For Enterprise (Never seen) perhaps I wouldn't give a credit. What has G. Roddenberry made for Enterprise? I think it would be not very good to give something like this the same credit as for an book writter that had the whole idea of a story, charactes, universe, ... that was picturized. |

Agreed. Roddenberry created Star Trek, the original TV series. Everything else was based on that. The Profiler credit of 'Created by' should be reserved for a credit of 'Created by' only. Agreed. Otherwise it quickly turns into nonsense. | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |
