Potentially bad news: the media buzz is about the pending actors’ strike, so we hope 你 enjoyed your few months of new flicks and fresh TV.
If the Screen Actors Guild strikes and our 最喜爱的 stars walk, 你 can say goodbye to new fare on the screen. The only place you’ll be able to see A-listers like Patrick Dempsey and Ellen Pompeo will be the picket line.
To clarify, it’s still possible to avert the strike. But we’ve already seen what happened to Grey’s Anatomy the last time, with the WGA Strike.
On one side of the bargaining 表 is the Alliance of Motion Picture and 电视 Producers. On the other: the Screen Actors Guild.
The issue at hand is once again money - residual payments for DVD sales, reimbursements for work-related trips and fees for Internet content.
Without an agreement, Hollywood’s actors have two options: work without a contract 或者 strike. Of course, in order to strike, the guild needs a 75 percent authorization vote, a process that may take up to three weeks.
Will this be a rerun of the 2007-2008 writers’ strike that delayed last season’s production of Grey’s Anatomy and all our other 最喜爱的 shows?
It’s hard to believe either side wants a strike. After all, the 100-day writers’ strike set Los Angeles County back 更多 than $2 billion economically.
Hits like NBC’s 超能英雄 and ABC’s Private Practice were forced to 快门 production mid-season, and others like Fox’ 24 never even made it to air.
Many of the TV shows that did come back never regained their full pre-strike audiences. It certainly didn’t help Grey’s Anatomy’s ratings.
But the plot thickens this time around. Stay tuned.
