Strike Talks Resume As TV And Film Studios Fall Silent

Strike Talks Resume As TV And Film Studios Fall Silent

With some of America's favourite television programmes pushed off the air and high-profile film projects biting the dust, Hollywood's studio bosses and network chiefs will return to talks this week to try to end a two-week writers' strike that has hit them harder and faster than they anticipated.

The studio brass initially said they would not consider a return to talks as long as the strike persisted, but they changed their tune when it became clear that Hollywood's 5,000-odd writers in regular work were standing firm to shut down late-night chat shows, dramas, comedies, daytime soap operas and - if the dispute is not resolved soon - the next round of new shows that would ordinarily start to shoot in January.
