The new disney channel movie that is coming out is called "Read it and Weep It" ( i think thats what its called ) any ways the movie is based upon a book and i dont see in any of the commercials on disney giving credit to the author who came up with this story . The book is called "How My Private Personal Journal Became a Bestseller" ByJulia DeVillers . You can find the book here :http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0142403326/qid=1152997794/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-2113152-9911105?v=glance&s=books .

Just by changing the title and tweaking a few things in the movie does not make the movie disneys idea . I hope that when i see this movie on Disney Channel they will give credit to the author somewhere in there. If not that would be wrong @_@ !!

If Disney were to pay the author of the book to use the plot in a movie. They do not have to mention it is a book. They could if they wanted, but they wouldn't have to.

no its not.

if disney IS making a movie from a book that sombody else wrote they need to make some deal with the author, if the book is copywrited ( wich im sure it is ) they cant steal the idea and get full credit for it if they didnt even make it themselves ( wich they didnt )

I'm sure Disney has already discussed this with the author. They couldnt even start filming the movie with out her primission, but I know after time they allow other people to use her ideas. For instince, alot of songs you hear today were sung in the 80's but people remix them today.

They won't give credit, they didn't with a wrinkle in time, they won't now.
