Plus, DW isn't exactly a starving artist - I'm pretty sure the studio would have difficulty presuring him.
I remember reading a line in a Puzo novel. Someone had asked a charahter how he bribed cops and judges to let him deal drugs. He replied you just find out their annual salary and then offer them five times that plus bonuses.

And in the scheme of things a 'huge' cheque for DW isn't going to be alot of money compared to the sfx budget. Throw in a promise of a % of earnings (gross if he's naive, net if ne's not) and voila! You've brought yourself an author.
