Another Strike Happening?

We've already suffered a blow with the writer's strike with out favourite shows out of production. Well everything is back to normal but wait there's more... now the actors are set to walk out. We have the details
Here we go again.

Still recovering from a three-month writers' strike that crippled the TV and movie business, Hollywood is bracing for the possibility of another walkout, this time by the Screen Actors Guild, as early as June 30.

Filmmakers already are in strike mode: Most projects due to start shooting in the spring were postponed unless they could be completed by month's end. Actors are sitting on the sidelines to await the outcome of negotiations.

"The studios are not greenlighting films right now. It's a bad situation," says Emile Hirsch (Speed Racer), who finished his last project two months ago. "Hopefully, it will all work itself out. Nobody wants to be out of a job."

But network-TV producers, normally on early-summer break, are in hurry-up mode. Though they typically don't resume shooting until late July or August, several series, including House, CSI and My Name Is Earl, are in production now and will complete four to six episodes for next season before June 30.

That's partly designed to make up for wages lost during the writers' strike and partly to hedge against an actors' walkout over the summer.

TV and film executives are less fearful of an actors' strike than they were last fall ahead of the writers' walkout. The general consensus — perhaps wishful thinking — is that barring a last-minute settlement, there might be a short, symbolic strike. They note that SAG has yet to ask its members to authorize one.

But the effect would be swift. Most filming would be shut down immediately, unlike the writers' walkout, when a script surplus allowed production to continue on previously written projects.

SAG resumed talks last week with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the studio consortium that handled labor agreements with writers and directors earlier this year. Both sides declined comment, citing a press blackout. SAG represents all film and most TV actors, and has 127,000 members.

The studios reached a tentative agreement last week with another union, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, which represents performers on soap operas, talk shows and commercials, as well as a few scripted series. (About 40,000 members belong to both unions.)

That would leave David Letterman free to work even during a SAG strike, but union actors would likely boycott the talk shows.

Among actors' sticking points: royalty pay hikes, approval over the use of clips and product placements, and payments for original programs on the Internet.

Also news is that Sarah Connor is back filming too as well with photos have been resurfaced of the show's stars filming outdoor sequences.

J'espère qu'il n'y a pas une autre grêve...une grêve, c'est grave, mais une autre? Non.

Oh non , sèrieux ils vont pas nous gachès une saison de plus de nos sèries,peuvent pas tous faire grève en meme temp lool

Les raisons peuvent être compréhensibles, mais mince quand on est acteur, que l'on gagne un paquet d'argent pour s'afficher devant une caméra, on se plaint pas !

Haaan nan j'peux pas le croire o_O

Cette nouvelle grève si les nègoçiations en cours n'aboutissent a rien devrait dèbutè lundi ... Pitiè qu'elle soit courte ou cette fois bon nombres de sèries n'y survivront pas .

comme les scénaristes ont réussi à avoir ce qu'ils voulaient, je vois pas pourquoi les acteurs se priveraient de faire pareil.
je pense que ça pourrait faire plus de mal à certains acteurs que du bien, surtout pour les petits salaires, sans parler de tous les autres métiers liés au monde du spectacle qui ont déjà été fragilisé par la grève des scénaristes.

Des informations ont-elles filtré à ce sujet? Il y a du nouveau?

J'ai plus rien entendu à ce sujet, maintenant, il faut voir....

Ils sont en pourparlès , la menaçe de grèves planant toujours au dessus des tetes .
