A credit in an eventual film is something they would have to cough up anyway if they make the film. And having a film made of one's work just isn't that wondrous a thing, especially if the filmmaker is so lame he can't (or doesn't know he needs to) pay for the option. This guy is counting on the writer to be all starry-eyed and impressed. I would be offended by that, and the price of the option would go up. The filmmaker should know better, and the fact that he doesn't sets off alarm bells all over.
