Some union members are expressing guarded optimism that they are moving closer to a deal that could end the Hollywood writers strike.
Striking writers and Hollywood studios are returning to the bargaining table for the first time since August and some members are expressing guarded optimism that they are moving closer to a deal.
The WGA and the studios, represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, did not comment on how talks went Wednesday. But some reports indicate that they are closer to finalizing a deal that could end the writers strike."The mood here is cautiously optimistic," she said. "We've been out here long enough that we just really hope to get the deal that we fought for.
A WGA deal would not necessarily restart all film and TV productions, however, as the actors are conducting separate negotiations and it appears they remain far apart.
