#8: He did the same for the movie “Speed”. Most of the dialogue and several of the characters are his. Unfortunately he was arbitrated off the credits for the movie.

#9: He did a complete draft which was tossed out with the exception of 2 lines.

But either though I am not a fan I will admit I did like Abrams Star Trek movie despite the changes.

I guess I find these two ‘visionaries’ very over rated

Also, Joss Whedon is largely credited with shaping Toy Story when that was in trouble. He came in for a short time, reworked the script, and crucially changed the emphasis of Woody from bully to put-upon leader, and the rest is history.

Folks like Andrew Stanton (Wall-E, Finding Nemo) credit Whedon with essentially schooling them all very quickly.

He wouldn’t be so boring if he just made more Firefly! Even though I know it’s not his fault, I blame him completely just because I enjoy being irrational.

Would you mind explaining WHO Joss Whedon is? I’ve never heard of him. I know all about JJ, though! : )
