The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) has signed a deal that guarantees 9 movies to be fully produced. Since the actors aren’t striking yet, this is a precautionary action before a possible strike later this year. Currently the SAG is in talks with the major studios.

“We’re in negotiations. We’re focused on that. We have no further comment,” the SAG told the AP. The Writers Guild of America made similar deals before they began their strike last year.

So should we see this as a possible sign for another strike? Or is the SAG just cautious and doing everything they can to keep their people at work?
