The WGA has officially announced an end to the writers strike in Hollywood after 148 days as a deal with studios in the AMPTP is approved. Here are the details of that deal: - The WGA now has protections against AI being used as source material, and studios will be required to disclose whether they are giving writers AI-generated material during the writing process. At a baseline, the WGA also will receive an increase in minimum pay. - The WGA was also able to address issues of streaming residuals, one of the most contentious parts of the strike negotiations. The new system awards writers whose shows receive high viewing counts on streaming. As the contract stipulates, writers will be rewarded for programs that “are viewed by 20% or more of the service’s domestic subscribers in the first 90 days of release, or in the first 90 days in any subsequent exhibition year.” - The deal also requires that studios be upfront about their viewing numbers for shows, which have historically been kept under wraps by the likes of Netflix and other streaming giants. - The WGA also had requested a six-person minimum staff count for a writers' room, adding a person for every two episodes after that until reaching a maximum of 12. The WGA did not receive their full ask in this regard, but the studios did agree to a three-staff minimum for any shows with 20-week or longer development rooms. A vote to ratify this contract will take place between October 2 and October 9. #movienews #filmnews #movie #movies #film #films #cinema #cinephile #cinephiles #cinephilecommunity #filmcommunity #letterboxd #filmdirector #wga #amptp #writersstrike #actorsstrike #hollywood #disney #netflix #screenwriting #screenwriter #screenplay #script
