WGA, AMPTP to Meet Sunday After Guild Presented With ‘Best and Final’ Offer

Jump

  • Does anyone understand what makes this offer “final”? Like, if the WGA doesn’t accept it, does that mean that Hollywood is out of business forever, no more films, no more TV, because that was the FINAL offer?

    These people are so full of shit, I can’t even.

    • Are there any good shows that are shot like Euphoria?

    Jump

  • Euphoria’s cinematography is heavily influenced by Hungarian and Eastern European cinema of the 80s, 90s and 2000s. The cinematographer, Marcell Rev is of Hungarian origin and learned filmmaking in Budapest.

    If you’re interested in this style, you can check out some of the Hungarian films of that era. Taxidermia, or the works of Miklos Jancso come to mind.

    • Christopher Nolan Forgot To Credit Over 80% Of VFX Crew On ‘Oppenheimer’

  • I was very young then and much easier to push around. This was well before IMDB existed.

  • As someone who had his name left out of film credits before (actually, it listed the guy’s name who didn’t get the role I got instead of mine), I know how this stings. Sadly film & television is full of neglectful morons, they fuck up, ultimately all you can do is move on.

    • Universal's streaming service Peacock Lost $651 Million From April to June, expected to lost $3 Billion in 2023

    Jump

  • I think Apple TV+ will also survive, simple because Apple’s business model permits loss leader services like that (or Apple Music is or Apple Fitness). The whole thing is basically one big elaborate iPhone ad.

    Jump

  • There’s nothing to watch on Peacock. There’s only so many times I can rewatch old episodes of House or Parks & Rec.

    Also, their NBC-themed branding is useless outside the United States so they can’t reach international markets effectively. They should do what Viacom CBS did with Paramount Plus and anchor their streaming platform to the internationally much more recognized Universal brand instead.

    • Peacock’s prices are going up in August

    Jump

  • Does that mean that NBCUniversal will be able to pay their writers and actors now?

    • Ron Perlman on writer strike: We know who said that

    Jump

  • I had no idea he was a New Yorker! This is such a New York accent.

    • Actors join writer strike: first tandem strike in Hollywood since 1960

    Jump

  • It also doesn’t help that the residuals model is such a mess. You get paid when the content is posted to a streaming channel but isn’t even being watched.

    Stream viewership numbers are some of the most tightly guarded secrets in the world right now. People have been fired from studios for looking at these numbers without authorization. Even when they’re released to third parties due to contractual requirements (such as music licenses), they’re only released with a 6 months delay.

    Until there’s transparency about viewership numbers, this will remain a mess.
