===Screenplay===
The multiple endings were developed by [[John Landis]], who had initially been set to direct, and who claimed in an interview to have invited playwright [[Tom Stoppard]], writer and composer [[Stephen Sondheim]], and actor [[Anthony Perkins]] to write the screenplay. The script was ultimately finished by Jonathan Lynn, who was invited to direct as a result.<ref name="2015-12-10 Buzzfeed" /><ref name=":0" />

A fourth ending was written for the film; according to Lynn, "It really wasn't very good.
