Howdy pard,
Interesting reading. Especially the one that says studios are screwing themselves with participation deals and the people who actually get the butts in the seats have to settle for a burlap bag and a bowl of soup.
Sure, I like good actors and directors but without the writers, what are they acting in. I guess it’s like Chris Soth says, maybe the WGA should go after one deal at a time.
Maybe that’s one of the things they’re (AMPTP) doing with this strike: cleaning out the closet. Unfortunately as the article said, participation is paid in perpetuity.
I just hope that, in the end, the creative forces behind these tentpoles finally get deals like actors or producers.
Even tripling the rate would only make for about $400M in residuals. One Sony tentpole can make that.
