After taking much of the summer off in the hopes of avoiding any more labor strife, the film biz is planning to get back to work after Labor Day, Variety reports.
As the Screen Actors Guild’s contract stalemate with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers enters its second month, the majors are coming to the conclusion that SAG’s all bark and no bite when it comes to going on strike. SAG hasn’t set a strike authorization vote and is viewed as unlikely to do so given the guild’s uncertain ability to command the required 75% approval rate.
TV production has remained largely unaffected by the standoff, which is now expected to drag on at least until late September.
