The WGA and studios have reopened talks that had stalled since August, igniting a sense of cautious optimism over a deal to end the strike.
Striking Hollywood writers are back on the picket lines Thursday as union leaders and studio heads continue talks that restarted earlier this week.Striking Hollywood writers are back on the picket lines Thursday even as union leaders and studio heads continue talks that restarted earlier this week.
The two sides have been divided on issues of pay, the size of writing staffs on shows and the use of artificial intelligence in the creation of scripts. Actors, who joined the writers on strike in July, have their own issues but there have been no discussions about resuming negotiations with their union yet.
The WGA strike is nearing record length. Should it continue through Sept. 30, it will be the longest in the union's history and the longest Hollywood strike since 1945. Even if the writers and studios agree to a new contract, many productions are likely to remain in limbo as the actors union, SAG-AFTRA, is also on strike, with no updates indicating a deal is close.George Clooney weighed in"Listen, no one wants to hear me talk about being unfair, right? Because I have had a very lucky career. But our industry has 160,000 actors, for instance, and they're struggling to make a living just to, you know, to eat," Clooney said.
"There aren't enough words to express our tremendous gratitude to Seth as he continues to help those in need, all while inspiring others with this call to action to do the same," Annette Bening, chair of the Entertainment Community Fund board, said in a statement.
