If you're ever struggling with a bit of writer's block or think your plot needs a little more pizzazz, Scott Frank is your man.
The only trouble is, he really knows his worth - so you can only utilise his expertise if you have a spare $300,000 (£235,600) a week to splash out on him.
Take a look at the trailer for one of the most impressive films he has on his CV here:
Known as one of Hollywood's most prolific 'script doctors', Frank can take a destined-to-fail film and turn it into a box office busting hit with a few of his legendary tweaks.

He's wrapped up the loose ends on almost 60 popular flicks, including the likes of Saving Private Ryan, Night at the Museum, Unfaithful, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Ring, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Gravity and, in his words, 'a lot of the X-Men movies'.
Imagine being that stacked up with scripts that you 'don't remember the titles' of which movies in one of the world's most popular superhero franchise you lent a hand to. Goals.
When filmmakers just feel something is missing from their latest work, they slide the storyline over to people like Frank who then iron out any inconsistencies; whether it's rejigging the dialogue, bolstering a character's backstory or making the plot a little more punchy.

During a chat with The New Yorker, he revealed that '90 percent of what I get called in on is character work'.
For starts, Frank - who wrote and directed the Netflix smash hit The Queen's Gambit - helped stand up Tom Cruise's character in Minority Report by suggesting the actor should lean into the grief he would feel for his missing son.
In Saving Private Ryan, the 63-year-old put more focus on the other soldiers who could have faded into the background, by giving them powerful connections with their loved ones at home.
Frank developed the relationship between Naomi Watts and her on-screen son in The Ring, gave Sandra Bullock's character a 'life outside of space' in Gravity and came up with the role of John Lithgow in Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

On top of that, he even managed to rewrite The Hunger Games: Catching Fire just weeks from the start of production according to the film's producer, Nina Jacobson.
She compared the process to 'laying down [a] new train track while conducting the moving train at the same time' - so now you know why he gets paid the big bucks for offering his Midas Touch.
Dubbing Frank a 'chameleon', Jacobson said he 'folds himself into' his work and gets the job done - to an incredible standard, despite the pressure of time restraints.

She added: "He’s sort of foolproof, in terms of being able to diagnose what you need, team up with the director and deliver it. You’d be hard-pressed to find an executive or producer who doesn’t think of him first virtually anytime they have a problem on a script."
The script doctor is still in high demand - so even though he knows his $300,000-a-week fee is 'insane', it's money well spent to ensure your movie doesn't leave viewers with a bad taste in their mouths.
Most of his jobs last a few weeks too... so if you ever see Frank in a bar, the drinks are on him with those kind of wages.
