Corey Mandell, the other credited screenwriter, was similarly scathing about the end product, saying in a 2019 interview that he only took the job as a personal favor to the then-head of production at 20th Century Fox (who were attached to produce the movie before Franchise Pictures took it over), that his screenplay was almost totally junked and turned into a more straightforward adaptation of the novel, and that the only positives about having worked on the movie were that he knew his career could never sink that low again, and that he should never work just for the money again.Shapiro, the original screenwriter, openly apologized for this film, and even personally received the film's Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Movie of the Decade, 2000–2009.
