head George Cheeks addressed Hollywood’s current labor climate as screenwriters and actors hold crunch talks on a new deal with the major studios, with the Writers Guild of America membership on picket lines.
“I still remain very hopeful that we will all find compromises. It’s existential for all of us. It’s just for the studios, for the creative partners, like we have to figure this out,” Cheeks told a Banff World Media Festival Summit Series session on Tuesday. Cheeks, president and CEO of CBS and chief content officer of news and sports for Paramount+, said the aim of the AMPTP was to present a collective front in negotiations with guilds and unions, even though that consortium includes legacy networks and newer streamers like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. “That’s really been the approach and, look, there are challenging issues. We’re not all exactly the same way,” he conceded as negotiations with the WGA stretch well into a second month.
