Bond 22 Script in, Others Facing Deadline
Source: The Hollywood Reporter October 30, 2007


With the writers guild expected to strike as early as Thursday, writers are furiously trying to get scripts completed for big projects.

The Hollywood Reporter says Columbia Pictures is set for Bond 22 - Paul Haggis delivered his draft to executives late last week.

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 executives and screenwriters in one goal: to get a script that is filmable.

Brian Helgeland had been writing 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 123, with Denzel Washington and John Travolta attached, to Tony Scott and Columbia.

Paramount 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).

The programming schedules of broadcast networks would be hugely disrupted as well 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.

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.

Lost better not be. The other ones I don't care so much about.

Writers Strike Officially Starts 12:01 a.m. Monday
Source: Variety November 2, 2007


The Writers Guild of America has announced that its 12,000 members will go on strike Monday against studios and networks, reports Variety.

The strike officially begins at 12:01 a.m. Monday. Members began receiving the official announcement Friday afternoon -- at the same time that the WGA was holding a news conference at WGA West headquarters in Los Angeles.

Members were told that all writing covered under WGA agreements must cease when the strike starts.

Talks between the WGA and the companies broke down on Wednesday, a few hours before the contract expired, over the issue of DVD residuals and work for the Internet. No new talks have been scheduled, but WGA West president Patric Verrone and WGA East president Michael Winship said at the news conference that they would be open to meeting with the companies.

The WGA's expected to mount multiple picket lines Monday. The guild's email to members said, "We'll be sending you information about our picket lines. Come out and show your solidarity. Your Contract Captain will be in touch with you. Be prepared to serve."

This season has been awesome.

From my understanding it's more like mid-season shows are more in trouble from the strike.

ah, I see, I don't think I know any shows that start at that time, though I know lots of shows that start in may...I wonder if this strike will last long enough to screw those up...

It's worse on the Lost message board. I mentioned that we might get only eight new episodes, and some guy started crying. Now, I love Lost, but I can't see myself crying.

Its a tv show, don't cry about it. And last time this happened in 1983 the tv industry lost 1/2 billion dollars.

Yeah, I'd be kinda pissed. But If Carlton got his way (for Lost) they'd be making up the lost eight episodes for season four, in season five. Full season, 24 episodes. I can live with that.

But jeez, some people act like the world is going to end. My thing with the whole writers strike? If the writers want more percentage from DVD's, give it to them.

Well, I haven't been up-to-date with all of this until now, but yeah. I understand both sides kind of and hope they settle soon and don't screw up too many shows. And my film production club I'm in, a few days ago we were officially registered with WGAW, and I guess were now on "strike."

2. Borrow some monkeys

3. Put said monkeys into a room with a bunch of typewriters.

4. ?????

5. Profit.
