Post: Screenplay rewrite / ownership query

Posted by Paco, pacohayes@yahoo.co.uk, on 12/10/01
How are you doing folks ?
A question, to which any answers would be extremely
helpful :
If a screenplay is optioned, and a rewrite undertaken and
paid for : When the option expires, do I, the writer, own
the copyright to the rewrite ? (Given that I own the
underlying rights to the work that the rewrite was based
upon).
Thank you for your time and wisdom.
