Studios and producers are preparing for a possible writers' strike, a month before negotiations are set to begin with the Writers Guild of America.
Writers meet today to discuss the issues they expect will be at the center of difficult contract negotiations with the studios this spring.this month that studios and networks are already preparing for what might happen — even though the WGA hasn’t decided on proposals for the talks.Some entertainment attorneys concur, saying studios are looking at scripts that were due after May 1, and trying to see if they can adjust those deadlines.
As another contingency measure, studios also are shuffling schedules and moving production dates to wrap projects before a potential work stoppage. Meanwhile, producers also are reaching out to entertainment industry attorneys for advice on how to prepare for a possible work stoppage and indemnify them from any liabilities they could face from production disruptions.
Some studios began planning for a possible writers’ strike late last year by ordering second seasons of shows earlier than usual so that they could get a head start on production, one agent said. “If there is a strike, it could be hugely detrimental,” said Stein Simonds, an attorney who represents producers. “You’ve got actor schedules that you’re relying on, same thing with directors. There’s all these things that are worked out months and months in advance. To put a hold on that, everything gets delayed and messed up and you kind of have to start from scratch.”
