Talk:Jason Hall (screenwriter)

Update needed: This is Jason Dean Hall, screenwriter
According to the IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0355699/#writer), this is the same man who wrote or co-wrote the screenplays for Spread (2009), Paranoia (2013), and American Sniper (2014).

I have linked his credit mention in the two WP movie articles (named above) to this one but since Hall's last acting credit listed on IMDb was from 2005 (CSI Miami) and he has at least two notable films as a screenwriter I think this article needs to be retitled "Jason Dean Hall" (which is how he is listed as screen writer in the other two WP articles), the disambiguation link "Jason Hall" should be updated appropriately, and the "screenwriter" category attached to his article. Though I assume the current article name will redirect to the new one the Paranoia and American Sniper links to Jason Dean Hall should be updated too, I suppose. And then the article needs to be updated to reflect his screenwriting career, of course.

Since I don't know how to do the first step, I hope someone who does can get the process started. Thanks. —Blanchette (talk) 20:08, 28 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks to User:Guat6 for beginning the update on Hall's screenwriting career. His reference to the Deadline.com article is particularly useful and that site has more recent info on Hall as well.


 * I did find the Instructions on how to "retitle" this article. The process is called moving the page and it is described here: Help:MOVE. It's not a quick process so I'm not going to attempt it now. If anyone objects to the move say so and why or if you are familar with the process and want to do the move, be my guest. —Blanchette (talk) 21:27, 29 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I also found the page to make uncontoversial move requests (WP:RMT) and requested technical help to make the move. —Blanchette (talk) 22:17, 29 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks to the tech help at WP:RMT the original title of this article (Jason Hall (actor)) has been change to Jason Dean Hall as requested. —Blanchette (talk) 22:46, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

He is credited as Jason Hall as a screenwriter. I have moved the page to Jason Hall (screenwriter), as that is the WP:Common name. - Gothicfilm (talk) 20:52, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
