Writer steals another mans script

Movie title? A writer with a writing block has a friend who ends up in a coma in a hospital after at traffic accident. The writer finds his friend’s fantastic book script, takes it and pretends he wrote it and becomes very successful. Until one day the friend starts showing signs of waking up… Don’t remember the actor. Actors Vincent D’Onofrio? Mark Ruffalo?
And I don’t mean “The Words”.

You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (2010)?
The subplot with Josh Brolin’s character fits your description.

That’s the one! It has to be! Thank you so much @Kramerjp. At first I checked the trailer and thought naah, it can’t be this, I’ve seen this, and I love Woody Allen, but… Then I read more of the plot on Wikipedia and realized - You must be right!
It’s funny how I thought of it as a rather dark drama, and the writer plot as the major theme of the film and therefore was looking elsewhere.
I’ll check it out a soon as I can. Thank you so much!
Best regards
Anders
