It's basically only the a in a collaboration which bothers me.

thanks

How about:

"Although dark and twisted, The Prestige doesn't lose the viewer thanks to the excellent screenwriting collaboration of Christopher and Jonathan Nolan."

NEVER start a sentence with "it." You will be asked for the predecessor.

How ya doing, buddy?
