How do I report the income from the sale of a screenplay sold after death with proceeds paid to his Trust?

[LJC61]

This will be reported on Form 1041.  He also receives residuals on his writing.  Is that "Other Income" on Line 8 or Schedule E (royalties)?

What was sold -- the screenplay itself, which he wrote before death, or just the rights to a screenplay based on a different work (novel or play) that he created?  One might be income in respect of decedent, the other might be capital gain (with stepped-up basis).

The screenplay he wrote before death.  He receives residuals on other written work.
