Credit for ‘Gale Force’

In reference to Chris Willman’s July 4 article about director Renny Harlin (“Renny Harlin Finds Plenty of Action in Hollywood”):

Let’s give credit where credit is due. (The coming movie) “Gale Force” is an original screenplay written not by me but by David Chappe. It is the product of Mr. Chappe’s imagination and creativity. My rather tenuous connection to the project at this point is that I have had one discussion with Renny Harlin and the producer, Daniel Melnick, about doing a possible rewrite.
