After three months of collective anxiety and financial gridlock, the WGA Strike has finally been resolved; however, feature film production and development won't fully resume until the the actors' union has a new contract, too. In an attempt to head off a similar impasse between SAG and the AMPTP in June, a group of Hollywood's premier actors have made a declaration with a full page ad in both entertainment business trades, Variety and The Hollywood Reporter:
JUST TALK
As proud members of the Screen Actors Guild, we have seen the effect of a long-running strike on our community.
Now that the writers have agreed to a deal, our hope is to get people back to work.
The next step is the negotiations between the producers and the actors.
The issues are important, the differences clear.
The difficulty is high, but nothing can be solved until both parties agree to sit down together and JUST TALK.
Not later, but now.
There's too much at stake to wait
It's our hope that both parties can at least agree on that.
Respectfully,
George Clooney, Robert DeNiro, Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep
