For the first time in months, Hollywood studios and striking writers have made progress in their negotiations, potentially nearing an end to a more-than-140-day strike that has frozen production.
Writers and heads of the four major studios are set to meet for a second consecutive day Thursday as they try to hammer out a deal that puts to an end the historic strike. The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers studio bosses — Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav, Disney chief Bob Iger, Netflix co-chief Ted Sarandos, and NBCUniversal studio chairman Donna Langley — resumed negotiations on Wednesday with the Writers Guild of America.
Today, they’re unlikely to get meaningful residuals, if any at all, when they create original content for streaming services. Writers are also concerned about the rise of artificial intelligence and want protections to ensure movies and shows are written by humans, not machines.
