[Red Shield]

Has to be... 2024 already looking bare

still "far apart"


I bet one of those key issues is SAG still trying to get paid on all streaming revenue or paid by subscriber

I was wrong about the writers strike going into 2024, but there’s a chance this one might.

I'm all for the actors, but getting paid for every subscriber is insane. That isn't the hill to die on

This shyt reminds me of the New Jersey and New York families negotiating for the Esplanade

Yea, it's a dumb ask. Why would they get paid for every subscriber when every subscriber may not even be watching a show/film with a sag actor in it. Or the subscriber may not have watched netflix in months.

Greed is once again the root issue

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

So they're still striking ?

..and AI too..just read somewhere that Scarlett Johansson about to sue some tech company for using AI of her likeness for some online mess

So they're still striking ?

Deal should be in place by midnight tonight or tomorrow...

This will be resolved by end of October at the latest.

Well, he was half right. Hopefully just a few days off.

I don’t see why the actors deserve any of the revenue when they already get residuals based on the success of the project, IF they negotiate for it. So they want it all essentially? They want to be paid for the project, get residuals, and also revenue sharing? Seems kinda wild to me.

Because they are not getting a fair amount in residuals. Thats the issue.
