Does anyone here know if Anderson has done any ghost writing or script polishes in his career (that he obviously didn't take credit on)?  I'm just curious cause I always think it's interesting to find out something like Charlie Kaufman doing rewrites on Kung Fu Panda 2...thanks if anyone knows.

that forgettable Jonathan Demme remake comes to mind.

Jeremy Blackman

This is a different category, but he helped direct much of A Prairie Home Companion.

I thought he was the "if i croak" backup
the one last hit that spent you...

Some of it was speculation/rumor, but he definitely had a hands-on role...

"the producers of the film probably insisted that Altman commit to a "backup" director because of his age ... and some say [Anderson is] basically running daily production of the film. [...] Between cuts, Robert belts directions over a mic while PT runs up to stage and speaks with the actors directly."
