WGA letter names 28 JudasesApril 18th, 2008 at 10:14 pm

The strike may be over, but the dust hasn’t settled yet. In a letter sent to its members, the WGA (West and East) presidents publicly noted the 28 writers who resigned during the strike earlier this year.
“Yet among the many there were a puny few who chose to do otherwise, who consciously and selfishly decided to place their own narrow interests over the greater good,” Verrone and Winship wrote.
After the harsh words they, of course, went on praising the other members for their dedication and support.
The letter comes two weeks after the news about the WGA’s feud with George Clooney, who didn’t get credited for writing ‘Leatherheads’.

SAG signs deal for work during strikeApril 17th, 2008 at 11:04 pm

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?
