Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 Unfortunately, I think the directors are much more respected by the Hollywood elite, studios, and networks much more than the writer's are. There's a certain chain that follows: 1. Hollywood Executives, 2. Producers, 3. Directors. and 4. Writers... The writer's will always be considered the bottom of the barrel, which is why the writer's strike won't be resolved anytime soon IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skin Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 So what does this mean? The directors can't direct anything if no one is writing the material needed to be directed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kubla Khan Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 Movie production hasn't stopped. There's still plenty of movie scripts that won't run out anytime soon. Basically, the WGA will never get a better deal than the DGA. So, this puts considerable pressure on the WGA to accept whatever DGA has gotten, and end the strike.

Members AddictedToSoaps Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 Well, that's some good news. At least there won't be another strike going on. There's still a bigger problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 United Artists and The Weinstein Company have also made independent deals with the WGA so their movies will still be produced. And since UA is run by Tom Cruise who is also a member of SAG, a deal between SAG and UA will happen, too. So any UA films won't be affected. I am sure TWC will be able to strike an independent deal with SAG, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skin Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 So does this mean that the strike is in it's last phase now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AddictedToSoaps Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 I don't think so. It may be a good sign, but to my knowledge there hasn't been any talks or discussions yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Probably an UO, but I'm so over this strike, it needs to end like yesterday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 19, 2008 Members Share Posted January 19, 2008 Basically, the writers are screwing themselves by the day........ If the SAG gets an early deal done too.... LOL the WGA just made as well pack it in and cave. I am fully expecting them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
