Inderdaad, een staking in Hollywood, de mogelijkheid bestaat dat de filmindustrie (de Amerikaanse commerciële althans) in de loop van volgend jaar volledig zal stilvallen.

Hoe, wie, wat, waar, waarom, wanneer?

Het waarom is erg eenvoudig en even voorspelbaar. Geld natuurlijk, wat anders? In de States heb je een hoop guilds die contracten hebben met elkaar, deze lopen binnenkort af en men raakt het maar niet eens over bepaalde dingen.

Concreet: de WGA (Writers Guild of America), de DGA (Directors Guild of America) en de SAG (Screen Actors Guild) hebben allemaal lopende contracten met de studios / de PGA (Producers Guild of America). Het contract van de WGA loopt in oktober af, dat van de DGA en SAG in juni volgend jaar, waarbij WGA de onderhandelingen wat uitstelt om samen met de twee anderen sterker te staan. Ook heeft de WGA al eerder moeilijk gedaan, maar toen werden ze grotendeels genegeerd, een hoop scripts zijn al geschreven en de studio's hebben dat dus in voorraad, maar met acteurs en regisseurs ligt dat iets moeilijker.

Waarover zijn ze 't dan niet eens? Over residuals. Wat zijn dat? Wiki leert ons het volgende:

A residual is a payment made to the creator of performance art (or the performer in the work) for subsequent showings or screenings of the (usually filmed) work. A typical use is in the payment of residuals for television reruns.

In dit specifieke geval zou het gaan over residuals verbonden aan "new media entertainment", het internet en dergelijke dus. Acteurs, regisseurs en schrijvers willen meer geld want hun prestaties worden via steeds meer verschillende media verspreid en ze menen daar een intellectuele copyright op te hebben. Volgens de Amerikaanse wet wordt een film "besteld" door een studio en de rest werkt gewoon in dienst van die studio, de auteursrechten blijven in handen van de studio, het creatief talent krijgt wel een compensatie, de residuals dus.

Is de kans groot dat het echt gaat gebeuren? Ik denk het niet, zo'n industrie voor een paar maanden plat leggen lijkt me nogal sterk, maar het zal wel degelijk gevolgen hebben, want de kans bestaat natuurlijk altijd dat het wél doorgaat en de grote studio's nemen hun voorzorgen. Ze gaan nu proberen om zoveel mogelijk films vóór juni 2008 af te werken.

Wat betekent dit voor de liefhebber? Dat er een hele hoop films erg snel zullen worden gemaakt en dat is vaak ten nadele van de kwaliteit. De mogelijkheid dat het doorsnee Hollywood-prul volgende zomer nog kutter zal zijn dan gewoonlijk is erg reëel.

Heeft het volk hier begrip voor? Moeten we sympathie hebben voor multi-miljonairs die nog meer geld willen? Misschien wel, misschien niet. Slechts een klein percentage zijn Hollywoodcelebs, de rest doet ook gewoon zijn of haar job en werkt ook maar voor een hongerloontje terwijl de studio's de miljardenwinsten maken. Anderzijds zijn het wel de studio's die geld investeren en de risico's nemen.

Ach ja, ik vind het erg interessant en ben wel benieuwd wat er gaat gebeuren .

De vakbondsleiders van de WGA hebben nu de bevoegdheid gekregen om per 1 november een staking in gang te zetten.

Volgens dit artikel van Time zal dat vrij snel een effect op tv hebben (deze december al), terwijl een effect op films wat langer op zich zal laten wachten (niet eerder dan 2009).

Hollywood flips over WGA contract deadline
‘Bond 22’ among high-profile scripts ready for action

By Borys Kit

Oct 30, 2007

There is no such thing as writer's block in Hollywood this week. Given the WGA contract deadline of midnight Wednesday, scripters are feverishly putting finishing touches on their projects and having them biked or messenger-pouched over to the studios.

One sigh of relief went up over at Sony late last week: Paul Haggis delivered his draft for the 22nd Bond installment to Columbia execs.

For many other projects, scripts are pouring in, getting a quick read and notes before being rushed back to the writers -- all in the hope of having the most advanced draft possible in order to beat the witching hour deadline.

"I'm getting drafts in, and I'm flipping them around like crazy," said an exec located over the Hollywood hill.

Fox's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," which is being penned by James Vanderbilt ("Zodiac"), and "The Fast and the Furious 4" by Chris Morgan are among dozens of scripts that are being flipped, a process that actually is uniting execs and scribes in one goal: to get a script that is filmable.

"Normally, you'd give notes and they go off and they write, take their time, do some things in the notes and not others," another studio exec said. "Everyone is playing for the same team now. That way, we have our best shot at making a movie."

Brian Helgeland has been putting pen to paper for the Scott brothers, submitting "Nottingham," Universal's retelling of the Robin Hood story with Russell Crowe attached, for Ridley Scott's approval Monday; Helgeland is also under the gun to deliver Tuesday "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three," with Denzel Washington and John Travolta attached, to Tony Scott and Columbia.

Some writers are turning in multiple drafts of the same script with variations in scenes and endings in order to cover a project's potential demands.

Paramount in fact has asked for three different scripts from three different writers for "G.I. Joe," and will perhaps combine the best parts from each one. Those involved in the novel tri-partite draft effort are Stuart Beattie ("30 Days of Night"), John Lee Hancock ("The Alamo") and the writing team of Brian Koppelman and David Levien ("The Winter of Frankie Machine").

Some projects may turn to their acting talent to step in and do minor touch-up jobs.

New Line's Vince Vaughn-headlined "Four Christmases," which is still being worked on, could enlist the fingers of Vaughn, who has been known to work on his scripts and is not a member of the WGA. Disney's "Bedtime Stories," which has Adam Sandler on board to star, can't rely on that actor, even though he often writes his own movies: Sandler is a member of the WGA East.

And while the writers write, many execs are hunkering down.

"I'm canceling lunches and meetings, and all I'm doing is reading scripts," said one exec. "It's kind of exciting."

As for the TV biz, the programming schedules of broadcast networks would be hugely disrupted were a strike to be called soon.

A prolonged stoppage would lead to abbreviated 10-episode seasons of scripted series, forcing the networks to fill primetime with repeats, unscripted fare and occasional acquisitions. Already, webheads are prepping their alternatives: NBC, for example, is considering running the original British production of "The Office" as strike-replacement programming.

While fall series have already started their seasons, midseason shows have the option to air a short season or not.

Indications are that both Fox and ABC are sticking to their original plan to launch "24" and "Lost" in January and February, respectively. Fox's "24," which started production late and was affected by the recent wildfires, is working on episodes seven and eight, one-third of its 24-episode season. "Lost" has almost reached the 10-episode mark, closer to the show's 16-episode season order.

A strike in November would also hurt the networks' development for fall 2008. Only 30% to 50% of all commissioned scripts -- normally due by year's end -- have been turned in to date. So in the event of a stoppage, network execs will have to make their pilot picks from a smaller pool, and hundreds of writers who couldn't finish their scripts on time won't be paid or will be paid only a fraction for their efforts.

A strike longer than six to eight weeks also would trigger the force majeure clause in TV writers' deals, giving studios free rein to drop expensive contracts.

By contrast, a writers strike called in January would have a lesser effect on the networks, triggering 18-episode seasons of the existing series instead of the usual 22 installments.

Pre-Strike Production Shortlist

image With the potential writer's strike less than a day away, studios have prepared more than four dozen projects that are ready to go no matter how long the strike goes on.

Variety has penned a great article explaining which titles are ready to be filming before March. Some high profile titles (eg. "Nottingham," "Transformers 2," "Prince of Persia," "Shantaram") don't seem to have made the cut and will have to wait until any potential strike is concluded. Amongst those that made the pre-strike cut, here's the short list:

Paramount Pictures (incl. Dreamworks): Star Trek, GI Joe, Morning Glory, Shutter Island, The Lovely Bones, Hotel for Dogs, Eagle Eye, The Soloist, A Thousand Words, Wednesday

20th Century Fox (incl. Regency, Fox Atomic): Wolverine, The Day the Earth Stood Still, They Came From Upstairs, Max Payne, Trouble Man, Bride Wars, Marley and Me, Monte Carlo, Brad Cutter Ruined My Life Again, Ticket to Ride, Jennifer's Body

Universal Pictures: The Boat That Rocked, State of Play, Land of the Lost, Repossession Mambo, Death Race, The Wolf Man, Duplicity, The Fast and the Furious 4 and Paul Greengrass' untitled Green Zone project

Sony Pictures: Bond 22, Angels and Demons, The Taking of Pelham 123, Seven Pounds, Year One, Edwin A. Salt

Warner Bros. Pictures: Justice League, Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, Yes Man, Hangover, Observe and Report, The Incredible Mr. Limpet, The Jetsons

Walt Disney Pictures: Shopaholic, Bedtime Stories, Witch Mountain, High School Musical 3, Hannah Montana, The Proposal, Christmas Carol

New Line Cinema: Four Christmases, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Seventeen, My Sister's Keeper

Other (Focus, Weinstein, etc): Bruno, This Side of the Truth, The Box, Shorts, A Serious Man, Vanished, Curveball, Zach and Miri, Shanghai, Nine, Comeback
Transformers 2 en Prince of Persia lijken de belangrijkste van de uitgestelde films.

WGA leaders call for strike
The Writers Guild of America is going on strike as early as Monday.

In a lively meeting of 3,000 guild members Thursday night, the WGA's negotiating committee announced its unanimous strike recommendation, a pronouncement that generated an enthusiastic response from the SRO crowd at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The decision also is sure to cause ripple effects within the Directors Guild and the Screen Actors Guild as they negotiate their contracts within coming months.

A final decision on striking could come as early as today via meetings of the WGA West board and the WGA East Council. Leaders stressed throughout Thursday's meeting that they could not specify how soon a strike will start. Attendees were instructed that they should go to work today and wait for a call or email from strike captains.

Ben benieuwd. Lost schijnt 14 v/d 16 afleveringen al geschreven te hebben. Die zouden er best met veel druk nog 2 afleveringen uitkunnen gooien en veel series kunnen nu het laatste script nog aanpassen op een cliffhanger/einde.
Wel bagger dat we nu zonder shows zitten vanaf eind februari

Dan moet George Lucas het zelf maar herschrijven, die zit toch niet bij de WGA? In elk geval niet bij DGA weet niet of dat automatisch inhoudt dat ie ook niet bij de andere GA's zit.

UPDATE: The Writers Guild of America has announced that its 12,000 members will go on strike Monday morning against studios and networks, but left the door open for new talks.
Guild leaders, speaking at a Friday afternoon news conference at WGA West headquarters, stressed that they want to negotiate with the companies this weekend -- as long as the companies will back off their insistence that residuals for DVDs cannot be increased.

TVP.

Even TVP nuttig maken. Voor Heroes schijnt al een alternatief einde voor aflevering 11 gemaakt te zijn zodat deze aflevering als season finale kan fungeren.

Maar zodra deze strike over is gaan de series toch gewoon verder?

Hopelijk. Kans is groot dat veel series het niet overleven omdat acteurs e.d. al andere banen (films/theater) hebben aangenomen of omdat de kijkcijfers nu okay zijn maar straks waarschijnlijk toch kijkers massaal afhaken..

Dit kan dus betekenen dat 24 seizoen 7 maar 8 afleveringen wordt, Supernatural seizoen 3 wordt afgekapt, evenals Smallville S7 en om en nabij alle andere series?
