My Take
James Vanderbilt is one of those writers whose name rewards anyone who reads credits. He's since been handed franchise reboots and the revival of Scream, which tells you how much studios trust his structural instincts. I admire that he works largely out of the spotlight, building the skeletons beneath movies we remember. In an era obsessed with on-screen stars, I find real value in celebrating the craftsmen who actually make the stories hold together.
