Rob Been Robbed

Dave McNary of Variety reports on the strike II front...

SAG says no to majors' final offer

Sticking point: Non-union work in new media The month-long contract stalemate between The Screen Actors Guild and the majors shows no signs of a breakthrough anytime soon....

And even though an official walkout seems likely...It's still a question of when...Still...have we seen its first casualty?

Ridley Scott's fresh take on the Robin Hood myths will apparently take a little longer to get to the big screen according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Production on "Nottingham" was originally scheduled to start in a few weeks, but has been indefinitely postponed and probably won't be ready to get back and up and running until well into next year.

Script concerns, location problems and the threat of another strike have all combined to convince all involved to shut everything down for now

The studio, Scott and star Russell Crowe all remain committed to the project...

If you take the labor issues out of the equation the other concerns could mean a longer delay period than 9 months.
