'film's original' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'poster writer the guy one's flipping about' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'writer' could be 'pen' (something which writes) and 'pen' is found within the answer.
'one's' could be 'im' ('one is' is a formal way of saying 'I am') and 'im' is found within the answer.
'the guy' could be 'he' and 'he' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'oper' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
