This is very incorrect.
The writers were very much "real writers"--they have to be as the Screenwriters Guild ( and various other film industry unions) would have had a fit if they weren't.
The script was written BEFORE the strike ( not during), was actually rushed to have it completed before the strike deadline.
The "problem" with the script was that once the strike started, no re-writes could take place ( as no Guild writers could work DURING the strike) and the studio was obligated to use the script as is, or stop production.
Since the dollar value invested in the film was so high, and the length of the strike an unknown quality the studio and Hasbro were faced with big losses if they did not proceed.
