This is not a tease for a new Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. It is simply a reminder that film and television are a collaborative medium, made by the creative work of a LOT of people, not just the vision of one singular person, or a handful of people inputting prompts to AI.

The AMPTP couldn’t have handled this worse. Their arrogance with the WGA only emboldened SAG. If they’d accepted the WGA’s terms they’d probably have deals with all 3 unions today. Instead, they are going to feel financial pain that far outweighs what they were asked to concede.

For context: 200 million is roughly the annual deficit between what the WGA asked for and what the studios offered (and that amount would have been divided between all 8 studios, whereas this loss is borne entirely by Warner.)

From 2011-2015, Viacom (now Paramount Global) spent 15 billion dollars on stock buybacks that are now worth less than 4 billion. The 11+ billion they flushed down the toilet could have paid for the WGA’s current contractual requests for *37 YEARS*

Can’t believe the AMPTP told a bunch of actors they’re not special and thought it would go over well

Viola Davis has decided not to continue filming her new movie ‘G20’ after the production received an independent film SAG waiver. “I love this movie, but I do not feel that it would be appropriate for this production to move forward during the strike.” (Source: Deadline)

Is losing 300-500 million to avoid paying 60 million to writers & actors a smart business strategy? I'm conflicted. thewrap.com/warner-bros-di…
