What credit would this be:  Based on a screenplay by James R. Webb (from 1991 Cape Fear)?
My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it!

I would say that is an OMB credit, since it says "Based on". 

Especially if there is another credit for writer or screenplay by or something.

There's already a OMB credit and a screenplay by credit, if that helps.

I would assume that you'll mostly see this in remakes, though Cape Feare isn't.

Actually the 1991 Cape Fear is a remake of 1962's Cape Fear starring Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck.

Huh?

The DeNiro Cape Fear is absolutely a remake of the original Cape Fear.

I am pretty sure it is.

As to the original question, it should be OMB as this film was based on the screenplay for the 1962 film.  That screenplay was written by Webb.
