Hold it. He wasn't in the film, but Swank was; and Swank's character isn't paranormal (though I admit that second point is a bit of a quibble). And key advisor is hype -- how many advisors did the film have, anyway?

ALT2 looks good to me. The citation says the he was "a character consultant" which seems close enough to "advisor" in my opinion. Kyle(talk) 19:09, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
My only problem was with the key. EEng (talk) 19:27, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
And also the in was properly clarified. He was not in the movie. Nickell was the only professional paranormal consultant for the film. Perhaps key was a stretch however. Do you think all is corrected now? Kyle(talk) 20:20, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Gatoclass and EEng what can I do to help move this forward? nudge, nudge. Kyle(talk) 05:16, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
