Both actors were cast by the film's original director, Alex Cox who wrote the original screenplay with his longtime collaborator, Tod Davies.
When the film approached release, Gilliam learned that the Writers Guild of America (WGA) would not allow Alex Cox's and Tod Davies names to be removed from the credits even though none of their material was used in the production of the film.
Angered over having to share credit, Gilliam left the WGA and, on certain early premiere prints of the film, made a short introductory sequence in which an anonymous presenter assures the audience that no screenwriters, whatsoever, were involved in writing the film, despite what you may read in the credits.

The wonderment of a Cox film is the openness, the expanse of his imagination.
Note his dialogue with the Tod Davies, the producer/screenwriter of Three Businessmen, in the DVD's commentary track: "There's a little clue in here as to something else that's going on.
Cox doesn't allow that kind of safe distance from his films, as Davies explains: "Because when you look at a piece of art, you're alienated from the subject matter because you look at it and you say, 'That's a piece of art.

 Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: Criterion (1998)
Following is Not The Screenplay (17:04) and it follows the interesting and quite convoluted story of awarding the screenwriting credits for the film.
Although the final, filmed script belonged to Terry Gilliam and Tony Grisoni, the WGA also awarded a screenwriting credit to the film’s previous director Alex Cox and Tod Davies.
Gilliam and his crew rallied to have the credit stricken — and eventually won — and in this supplement, Criterion has brought together director Terry Gilliam, screenwriter Tony Grisoni, and producer Laila Nabulsi to discuss their battles with the WGA.

 FEAR UNDER THE MICROSCOPE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Terry Gilliam (who had replaced the film's original director Alex Cox) had adapted the book with co-screenwriter Tony Grisoni, disregarding the version of the script by Cox and Tod Davies that was originally going to go before the cameras.
When the WGA announced that Cox and Davies were to receive sole screen credit, Gilliam protested that his and Grisoni's work had not been validated, and made a rather public demonstration of his antipathy for the credit arbitration process.
In some instances stage directions were kept although the dialogue itself was altered, so the dramatic focus of the scene might be different from the first to second scripts even if the staging were similar.

Funny and repulsive, obnoxious yet in some ways pitiable, Depp's performance should kill, once and for all, whatever pretty-boy image he still has left.
Gilliam wisely uses Thompson's writing as narration, and the script -- which he cowrote with Tony Grisoni, reworking an early attempt by Alex Cox (Sid and Nancy) and Tod Davies -- is scrupulously faithful to the book.
Yet Gilliam doesn't let Thompson off the hook -- the movie isn't just a jokey celebration of weirdness.

A deserted series of pristine municipal spaces strewn with Daddy Z flyers and the borrowed sentiments of karaoke invokes the dislocations of Lost in Translation (2003), another movie dazed by the recent turn of the calendar.
One of the surest measures of the truly independent filmmaker is that, rather than propound themes and their expression, critics cast around, as I have done, for analogues for the strangeness before them.
Confronted with an increasingly battened down and homogenized new century in which the suits are clearly running scared, filmmakers like Cox are a tonic, while interlocutors like Davies throw light on our era’s darkest imaginings.

Luckily the longtime original choice, Director Terry Gilliam, had no plans at the moment and stepped in to tightly fuse brilliantly absurd imagery to the book's screen adaptation.
Still using the script written by Alex Cox and Tod Davies, Gilliam masterly upholds much of the story while spanning further dimension with the electrifying luxury of film medium.
As the story goes, Hunter S. Thompson, under the guise of Raoul Duke, heads out from Los Angeles to Las Vegas with his Samoan Attorney, Dr.

Just doing a Google search right now (keywords: "script," "thrown out," "arbitration"), I find a photo of Terry Gilliam burning his Writers Guild of America card over the WGA's ruling on Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas.
The WGA initially decided to credit the screenplay to Alex Cox and Tod Davies, even though Gilliam and his screenwriting partner Tony Grisoni asserted that they wrote one directly from Hunter Thompson's book.
The WGA eventually gave in and credited all four of them, but there have been circumstances when they haven't been so generous or just.
