Hollywood's actors and studios are edging closer to a deal that would allow the industry to return to production after a strike of more than three months
Hollywood actors and studios are edging closer to a possible end to a strike that has halted much of the industry's production for more than three months.
Talks between the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers have moved slowly and methodically since they restarted on Oct. 24. But leaders of the actors union say there has been steady progress, and they are cautiously optimistic about reaching a deal.
The two sides on Thursday were meeting to discuss the actors' latest counter-proposal on language surrounding the use of artificial intelligence in production, a major sticking point in reaching the three-year contract agreement that would end the strike.
Hollywood's writers ended their strike and returned to work on Sept. 27. With them came the return to air of late-night talk shows and “Saturday Night Live.”
They also went back to work on scripted movies and TV shows, though many of those either have or will stop again when it comes time to turn scripts into shooting. And no matter how quickly the actors get their own deal, the delays brought on by the two strikes will reverberate for years. The latest announcements include a delay in Kevin Costner's final episodes of “Yellowstone” and in Disney's live-action remake of “Snow White.”
