Seuss Screenwriters TO Get Credit Second Time Around


Three screenwriters who were brought aboard Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas to do rewrite work -- but who received no screen credit for their efforts -- have been hired to write the screenplay for another Dr. Seuss tale being made into a movie, The Cat in the Hat. Daily Variety reported today (Monday) that Alec Berg, Jeff Schaeffer and Dave Mandel have been hired by Universal and Imagine Entertainment in "a seven-figure deal" to write the screenplay for the Tim Allen starrer.
