I've noticed that when I do a rewrite in HM3 and use a different writer, only the original screenwriter is credited regardless of how substantial the rewrite is. I think it would be cool if all the writers who worked on the film were credited. I also think it would be neat to hire one or two extra directors like The Wachowski's & Tom Tykwer on Cloud Atlas or Rodriguez and Frank Miller on Sin City. Producers. This has been brought up before so I don't think I need to elaborate too much, but it would be cool basically.

The director thing happens so rarely that it's not needed. Carey said multiple producers wouldn't add to the game after I suggested it, I agree now.
Writers are a good point though and also how about directors writing screenplays?

Well ... I'm looking at all kinds of changes in this area. Rather than a "set" number of talent (10) ... plus a Producer, Director, and Screenwriter ... I'm thinking about letting you just attach who ever the hell you want to to any movie you make. 30 actors even.
I'm still thinking about it. But I know that some of you moguls would really get into making a movie with 20 "movie stars" in it, so ... probably.

Been hankering for a remake of Cannonball Run

I'd like to re-do Midway. Complete with the all-star cast, but without the romantic sub-plot which really had no place in the movie.

That's "studio thinking" ... or movie-making by committee, as I like to think of it.
Paramount bought "Red October" then spent five years trying to work a romance plot into the screenplay. They finally gave up and just made the book as best they could.

The director thing happens so rarely that it's not needed. Not true actually. There have been many films with 2 or 3 directors all directing a certain segment of a film. One off the top of my head is Four Rooms (Quentin Tarintino, Robert Rodriguez, Allison Anders & Alexandre Rockwell). More recently I suppose Movie 43 with 12 directors would be a good example of that. Ethan & Joel Coen have collaborated on almost every film in their career (True Grit, Fargo, O Brother, Where Art Thou). The feature is truly a necessity IMO.

MonstarMike, Ummm ... in 2012 about 250 or so movies were released by the major studios. Saying that "many" movies have more than one director is a bit of a stretch for me.
I'm still thinking about this, but to me it's not very realistic.

Sure. I didn't mean there were many recently I meant just a handful in the past. Anthology films have been done before where you'd have multiple directors so it's realistic enough. It is your game of course it's just what i'd love to see in it.

Several films in around ten years isn't often enough to warrant a place.
