Roger Avary says: "The WGA Arbitration Committee on "Lords of Dogtown" has reached a verdict. And they've determined that the sole writer credited on the film will be Stacey Peralta -- a decision I find completely and totally satisfactory. I mean, Stacey did live the frickin' thing. It's only right that he should receive sole credit. My changes went out with the bathwater when Catherine Hardwicke took over from David Fincher as director. She rewrote the script, but obviously didn't contribute more than 50% of new material to Stacey's original script. In any case, I'm totally cool with it. I signed on for a Fincher film, and Stacey deserves sole credit. The WGA Arbitration Committee has made a just decision. I stand by it."
Sad deal. Avary is the man. He's revisions are gone. Sad. This STILL looks good. If they ever finish and release it!
