SAG Actors Strike Reportedly Nearing Resolution as Studios Agree to Tailor Language on AI: Report

Share

Our long national nightmare might be over soon.

Variety says the studios are agreeable to tailoring language in their “last, best, final offer” to the union.

The remaining issue seems to be about AI, and the digital scanning of actors– and then reusing the scans without permission or pay.

The studios will likely give in on this so the strike can be wrapped up. If not, there will be no movie or TV business in 2024. It’s time to move on.

Stay tuned…
