In which way should this writing credits for the 2001 film Ocean's Eleven be entered into the database?


I mean the first credit is a simple screenwriter credit.
But how to handle the other two credits.
My first thought were two credits for screenwriting and Story by, but according to wikipedia those people were responsible for the original Ocean's Eleven film from 1960.
Which could get them credits for Original Material, couldn't it?
Think different

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.

I agree. The credits indicate that the screenplay of the original movie and the story it was based on were both used as a basis for this screenplay.

This. Ted Griffin wrote the screenplay, based on "Orginal Material By" the other four.

Agreed
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.
