When you sell a screenplay, there is no other option than to sell all rights for all time. Such studio contracts have been set in stone since the beginning of movies. There are super rare exceptions where a writer (like say J.K. Rowling) has huge power and can keep control of some rights — but we were nowhere near that category when we sold Tremors. It was only a little-known part of US copyright law that allowed us to get back our rights (after 30 years) to the original script.
