So basically, everybody (that’s everybody) in Hollywood who isn’t the CEO of a major studio is fully supportive of the writers. I’ve yet to see anyone speak out in opposition of the strike.
Pretty much. The actors and directors have a lot of vested interest in the strike as their contracts are up for negotiation next year. So if the writers cave and get a bad deal on new media residuals then it’s likely that they will too. They can only hope that the writers get a good deal as it will put them in a better bargaining position.
I've got a thing about films. Not in a weird way; I just watch a lot of them, try to write them and sometimes make them. I talk about them here. Sometimes I talk about other things too but mostly it's films. Or running.
