WGA Strike: Strike Talks to Resume on November 26!

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on November 17, 2007

12 Days into the strike and we get our first big surprise. That surprise was first delivered by Nikki Finke over at Deadline Hollywood Daily, then subsequently confirmed by Variety. The confirmed surprise was that the talks between the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers will resume on November 26, the Monday after Thanksgiving. This is very good news for anyone who is interested in seeing the strike end quickly (fans of The Daily Show please stand up). Very few people were expecting any more strike talks until after Christmas, but that was until the WGA released the following statement:

“Leaders from the WGA and the AMPTP have mutually agreed to resume formal negotiations on November 26. No other details or press statements will be issued.”

It truly is amazing that they can say so little and thus say so much. But then again, they are the Writers Guild of America. We’ll keep you posted.

  • Wuhoo, some positive news finally! Here's hoping they get it sorted in this round and not leave us out in the cold. There might even be hope for Heroes not cutting the season short if they announce a resolution soon enough!

    Oh yeah, hopefully Heroes won't be cancelled.... oh and maybe I'll be able to buy my kid Christmas presents this year. I already had to cancel our trip to see our family... but I can only hope that the writers get "four more cents" so that producers have a reason to pay us even less than they do now.
