 Co-producer Grant Heslov stated that he thought the guild "made the wrong decision," saying, "This script that Duncan and Rick wrote sat languid until after we finished "Good Night, and Good Luck"... George liked "Leatherheads" but said it never felt quite right.He took it to Italy with him, and I remember when he called to say he thought he'd solved it.One thing that you clearly see, if you read the original, the subsequent drafts and then his draft, is that he wrote the majority of the film... We both thought Duncan and Rick would get first position credit, which they deserved.
