Kal-El814 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Nolan and Hardy were ahead of the game with Bane, the solution to the writers strike is ensuring that nobody can tell if they’re hearing actual dialogue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Moody's seems to think that new agreements with all three guilds will total to an additional cost of $450M - $600M a year. That does not seem like all that much money when you spread it out between all these companies. Netflix's 2022 cost of revenues was $19 billion. The way the studios have been talking about this I thought it would have cost them a lot more. Moody's also seems to think that the content pipeline won't be affected by the strike until next year, which sounds right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I know Kevin Smith was talking about the fact he has another movie he'll be directing at the end of summer/beginning of fall, and because it falls under $3M, somehow they're exempt from having to strike. I love love LOVE what Ron did. Said all he needed to say without really saying a damn thing, genius & badass MF'er through & through!

Remarkableriots Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 SAG-AFTRA’s Rejected Contract Demands Seem Beyond Reasonable GIZMODO.COM The Screen Actors Guild is on strike following the breakdown of negotiations as the AMPTP trips on on streaming, AI, and equity. Quote However, none of these have been made clear. This document from SAG-AFTRA, combined with the negotiations posted on the WGA’s site, show a pattern of refusing to rework the contracts that were created without adequate allowances for the popularity of streaming services, refusing to negotiate on pension and healthcare for the guild members, and a complete lack of interest in regulating AI. For both SAG-AFTRA and WGA, this strike isn’t just about defining the nebulous parts of their contracts, but an attempt to future-proof an industry that seems intent on demeaning and destroying artists and does not support up-and-coming performers and writers. There needs to be a path forward, and if AMPTP is standing in the way, SAG-AFTRA and the WGA are going to march over them anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_MH Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Other, larger indie movies have gotten the green light to go ahead with production as long as they meet the union's demands. SAG-AFTRA Approves 39 Indie Projects to Shoot During Strike, Including Two A24 Films VARIETY.COM The SAG-AFTRA indie waiver list includes A24's "Death of a Unicorn" with Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega and "Mother Mary," starring Anne Hathaway. Quote The productions agree to abide by the terms of the latest offer submitted by SAG-AFTRA during contract negotiations. Ultimately, the productions will adhere to the final deal negotiated by the AMPTP. Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, the union’s executive director, said on a conference call Tuesday that actors are actively encouraged to participate in such projects. He said if independent productions are able to move forward on the union’s terms, that undermines the studio talking point that the union’s demands are “unrealistic.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
