Qualifications: Princess Leia Organa in the original Star Wars trilogy. Daughter of Darth Vader. Should return in Episode VII of Star Wars.

Experience: As Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Leia's role has stifled her acting career. But unless we know less that she is a talented writer (his book Postcards from the Edge, where she tells in a romanticized way the fight against drugs, has been a bestseller in 1987) had a successful career in script doctoring in the mid 90's.

of Tomorrowland (December 2014), the film retro-SF by Brad Bird.

Experience: on Prometheus, his rewrite of the original script by Jon Spaiths made โ€‹โ€‹him the perfect scapegoat for the film defects. He reworked over a third of World War Z (as a Christopher McQuarrie, without any screen credit).
Hollywood golden boy with his script for The Usual Suspects, for which he won the Oscar. His directorial debut, Way of the Gun (2000) is a public failure. Returns with Jack Reacher, great brutal thriller that won a great success. Become best friend of Tom Cruise, he was chosen to be the next director of Mission: Impossible 5.

Experience: Put in the closet after the flop "Way of the Gun" , McQuarrie is for eleven years a script doctor in high demand in Hollywood for his sense of twist and effectiveness. In addition to its "official" works (Valkyrie, The Tourist, Jack Hunter Giants), he has reworked the script for the first X-Men and wrote a first draft of The Wolverine (2013).

The official career of screenwriter William Goldman, a genious adapter(and often his own novels), speaks for itself and often deals with the relationship between reality and fiction.

Experience: Crowned two-Oscars for Butch Cassidy and The President's Men, he was among the most requested Hollywood script doctors. Besides his use for The Right Stuff and M:I 2, He worked -without screen credit - on Twins(1988) Last Action Hero (1993), Indecent Proposal (1993), Fierce Creatures (1997). Despite the rumor, he didn't rewrite the script for Good Will Hunting (1997) signed by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, but He only worked one day, advising them to remove a subplot around the FBI.
