Tony Grisoni (born October 28, 1952) is a British screenwriter. He has co-written several of director Terry Gilliam's films, including Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Tideland. Gilliam and Grisoni went to WGA arbitration to get credit for Fear and Loathing; initially only Tod Davies and Alex Cox (who had written a previous version of the screenplay) were credited, despite Gilliam and Grisoni rewriting the entire film from scratch. In the end, all four writers were credited. Later, Gilliam and Grisoni were involved in a similar dispute when original writer Ehren Kruger received sole credit for The Brothers Grimm; as an alternative to receiving a writing credit, Gilliam and Grisoni listed themselves as "dress pattern makers". less
