The Strike-Day 75

The latest:

DIRECTORS MAKE DEAL; Illegal activity?; And yet another mini-deal starring Doug Liman (pictured)

Industry reacts to DGA deal

Will new pact be template for WGA contract? A strike-weary industry greeted the tentative agreement between the DGA and AMPTP with a sense of relief, coupled with residual apprehension over whether the gains will be enough to get writers out from under picket signs and back behind keyboards.

That's great news in and of itself...but personally I think a writers deal is not necessarily right around the corner...

DGA makes big gains in new media

Deal sets residual formula for paid downloads

WGA: Majors' axing of TV pacts may be illegal

WGA pacts with Doug Liman's new shingle

Ultimately the scribe strike may be solved one mini deal at a time...

Stay Tuned...
