out my entire draft without telling me." Steven E. de Souza: 48 Hrs. (1982) and Judge Dredd (1995). In a 2013 interview published by Den of Geek, de Souza acknowledged his role as a script doctor. "I still get brought on to fix screenplays that I had nothing to do with. When a movie is about to be shot and they hire me to come in and fix the script and punch it up at the last minute. In addition, I’m like a patient resuscitator who they can hire secretly after a movie has had a horrible test to rewrite some scenes and re-cut the movie so they can make it good enough to get to home video. That’s my secret identity." See also Ghostwriter Dramaturgy References Writing Writing occupations Screenwriting
