Just when you thought the SAG-AFTRA was going to drag on to next year … a group of A-list actors, including George Clooney, Ben Affleck, Emma Stone and Scarlett Johansson, are proposing a $150M deal to SAG-AFTRA. This is a residual formula where the lowest names on the call sheet, those who most desperately need the money, will be the first ones to be paid. The deal proposed would last 3 years and include A-list actors paying the costs to AMPTP actors and freeing the cap on membership fees. This would help pump up health benefits and other areas to SAG-AFTRA members. It’s a take it or leave it offer. Just take it.
Still no distributor for "Bucking Fastard," "Alpha Gang," "The Last Photograph," "Closing Night," and "The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd." The issue seems to be quality more than a lack of willingness to buy.
