По поводу сценария - вот что написал JMS по этому поводу:
Цитата:
The script cannot be sold by the other party without the option. In contrast, while I have the option again, the script (as the basis of a film) is owned by the other party and if I were to try and produce it or if another studio wanted to produce it, they would have to buy it back from the other party. Any ancillary use of the script (such as a novelization) would also require that kind of buy-out.
The only exception to this is that under the WGA's Separation of Rights Provision, the writer owns the physical script...so the script of any movie or TV show, produced or otherwise, can be published AS a script, or copies can be sold, because they are the writer's property.
But all production related rights are off the table.

Общий смысл, как я понял, сводится к тому, что если JMS захочет снять фильм в другом месте, или захотят написать новеллу на этот счёт, то сценарий нужно будет выкупить. Единственное исключение - если сценарий будет опубликован как
сценарий или продан в виде физических копий.
