“It would be a miracle at this point” for SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP to reach a deal by this Wednesday, one producer told Variety.
Leadership from the performers guild SAG-AFTRA held a conference call with top Hollywood publicity agencies on Monday, bracing the powerful gatekeepers of A-list stars for a strike. The objective of the call, according to sources, was to brief the reps on protocols and how talent can best serve the union if and when a strike takes place.
During the call, which one participant described as panicked, the publicists asked varied questions — including if their clients would be allowed to sit for panels at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con, and if promotional obligations outside the United States would be kosher. A representative for SAG-AFTRA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
