The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and the Directors Guild of America just announced that they would enter into formal contract negotiations tomorrow. “The DGA and the AMPTP have agreed that neither organization will comment to the press regarding negotiations until negotiations have concluded,” the joint statement read. If both sides cut a deal, it could prompt the WGA and producers to end their five week standoff and get back to the negotiating table as well.

Please, Jesus, let this be the beginning of the end!
PLEASE,, take pity on the writers (and producers and TV Fans)…MAKE A DEAL ALREADY!!!!
Give the WGA a BREAK and GIVE THEM CREDIT!!! Seriously. Enough already – I need my shows back!! Thanks.
What if the DGA cuts a deal that doesn’t exactly line up with what the WGA is asking for? Say, a shorter term deal to let the real financial impact of the new media (that no one really understands yet) play out? Then what?
There’s a strike??? LOL Honesty, the writers deserve some compensation for works that are released in alternative media forms, but it hasn’t broke my heart either. It just gives me and my family more reasons to tune out the garbage and spend QUALITY time together. If Hollywood only had a clue…..
