Dolfan in NYC Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 19 minutes ago, John from Cincinnati said: Maher’s been doing out of pocket “I support my writers but…” rants about the strike on his podcast for a while. Genuinely surprised he backed down. His lengthy tweets about Barbie and the GOP debate scream of psychic trauma of someone who misses his show. For what it's worth -- and it's Maher, so "not much" -- he said he is backing down because negotiations are restarting. If they break down again, who knows. Definitely seems like we're not gonna get anything for months at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Per Variety - A24 has received a waiver so that the cast of The Iron Claw can promote the movie so expect to see Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White all over the place talking about the Von Erichs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 So, they manage to bust that, what, 0.6% profit percentage up to a whole whopping 0.9? Colbert should be back within a week so that's a plus for me, at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Someone asked Gaiman about working during the strike and he said he was in both WGA and SAG, and was in SAG for mostly playing himself in things, like the Simpsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 So then why was he (of all people) working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 WGA only covers electronic media, not prose, so nothing theoretically keeping him from writing a book. there was a long thread including him and Busiek about it on Blue Sky. https://bsky.app/profile/neilhimself.neilgaiman.com/post/3ka6erdnc2q2c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Since the strike is officially over - closing this up.

Craig H Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 You'd think that with WGA getting most of what they wanted that there's no reason for SAG to not get the same and get the industry moving again, but greedy motherfuckers are going to be greedy and all that.

Dolfan in NYC Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Back to this...The actors aren't coming back any time soon. 1) SAG is asking for a 2% cut of all streaming revenues for SAG-products. The producers have totally balked at that request. 2) The Producers think AI is still very much on the table: The producers argument is "Paul Walker figured out how to drive 100 mph in Santa Clarita".

Curt McGirt Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) So what's the over/under on studios starting to produce stuff non-union, likely in "right to work" states in the South and foreign countries? Have they been already doing that? I guess the issue is outing yourself as a scab for the world to see. That would include non-SAG, non-US actors as well.

jaedmc Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 That looks terrible, but so is the take about this being a "scheme to phase out minority background actor opportunities." Especially when it comes to Disney who is constantly under fire by conservative commentators(and governors) for their diverse casting practices. I mean look at that clip again. They cast an Asian basketball player for that scene. They clearly don't care about logic or even physics when casting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
