The Best Writing (Screenplay – based on material from another medium) nomination (and eventual winner) for The Bridge on the River Kwai originally listed just Pierre Boulle. Boulle, who spoke very little English, was the French author of the book the movie was based on.
Feb 9, 2020 · The Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay is given each year to a script “based on material from another medium.” That other medium being adapted is often a novel ( The Lord of the Rings ), a stage production ( Fences ), or another film ( A Star is Born ).
academy notes [NOTE: Though Pierre Boulle received official screen credit, it was commonly known that blacklisted writers, Michael Wilson and Carl Foreman, wrote the screenplay based on Mr. Boulle’s novel (translated from the French).
