The Writers Guild of America is set to meet once again with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers on Tuesday with a response to the studios’ latest offer on a collective bargaining agreement that could end the writers strike that has lasted over 100 days.
Two individuals, one on each side of the labor divide, tell TheWrap that the WGA and AMPTP are set to meet after the guild’s negotiating committee spent the weekend pouring over the studios’ latest offer, which is said to have proposals linked to all the major issues that the WGA wants addressed in its next contract.
Key among those issues are rules regarding writers room staffing to ensure that staff writers remain employed through the duration of production, streaming residuals, restrictions against artificial intelligence use in writing and additional payment for feature film writers for any requested script revisions.
One source on the WGA side says there has been “meaningful progress” compared to the failed talks held between the two sides back in April, while a studio insider says there is “cautious optimism” that a deal could be reached.

If Jared Leto still involved i'd rather that Tron:Ares not go forward IMO..

Unless these ridiculously overpaid stars and showrunners really contribute??
Not gonna be able to do much longer.
But IF IF IF they can hold out till Dec/Jan???

Shit is comedy. This ain't 1962 or 1992. Studios going to have these fools looking like the NFLPA.

Uh oh..the game industry might be next
Super interesting this is happening. For context, Genshin Impact made by MiHoYo has been using non-union actors for the game, and they also don't pay their talent in timely manner. I hope this will be the time for SAG and the WGA to take a more direct interest in video game production. For instance, Rockstar Games doesn't really believe in residuals for actors, and Michael Hollic -- the actor behind Niko from GTA IV --- called them out about it and was subsequently blackballed by Rockstar and other game makers. Capcom also really likes to use non-union actors for their games as well. RE2 Remake is their best selling RE game ever, and the acting talent in that game got paid fairly small for their efforts.

Now is the time to come for them all. They have the spotlight and the public opinion on their side.

No one is buying spec scripts.
No one wants original IPs without an existing following.
Even if they DID purchase your spec script, they will pay you the union median for the script and pay you for the first rewrite to get you to go away (you will not do the rewrite)
Then your part in the movie is finito.
