Question 909: Neither Dots Nor Feathers

X and Y originally wrote the screenplay for A as a thriller: Young man in the rough-and-tumble streets of South Boston, who possesses a superior intelligence, is targeted by the FBI to become a G-man. They later dropped the thriller aspect of the story and focused on the relationship between the protagonist and his psychologist. Noted screenwriter Z read the script and further suggested that the film's climax ought to be the protagonist's decision to follow his girlfriend to California. He has consistently denied the persistent rumor that he wrote the screenplay or acted as script director. Z has even said, "I would love to say that I wrote it. Here is the truth. In my obituary it will say that I wrote it. People don't want to think those two cute guys(X and Y) wrote it."

Identify A, X, Y and Z.
