“We hope you’ve heard the message from us: This is an unprecedented inflection point in our industry, and what might be considered a good deal in any other years is simply not enough. We feel that our wages, our craft, our creative freedom, and the power of our union have all been undermined in the last decade. We need to reverse those trajectories.”From where weāre sitting, it looks like the acting community is afraid that the deal with the AMPTP might be going down a similar route to the one the producers struck with the Directors Guild of America recently. Whilst the DGA itself proclaimed the deal to be a wonderful one, many directors felt key issues werenāt fully dealt with. However, because it was agreed by the union itself, it ended up being ratified. One thingās for sure: the AMPTP will want to avoid an actorās strike as that will send Hollywood into a spiral that it can ill afford right now. Dressherās comment suggests that a deal may well be struck between both parties by the time the 30th rolls around. If thatās the case those 300 A-list actors will have to mobilise all of their charm and star appeal to persuade the guildās 160,000 members to vote against it should they disagree with terms of the deal. The next week is going to be an interesting one in Hollywood, thatās for sure. Rolling Stone ā Thank you for visiting!
