Spurred by the day-old employment contract negotiated by the Directors Guild, Hollywood's writers and the major studios agreed Friday to resume their negotiations in hopes of reaching an agreement that would end the 11-week-old strike, according to several people close to the matter.

Writers Guild of America leaders plan to meet as early as Monday with News Corp. President Peter Chernin and possibly other studio chiefs, reviving talks that fell apart early last month, these people said.

I think it's about time this story gets moved to Entertainment and stays there. Thanks HuffPost for wasting more space. I don't remember any other labor actions garnering this much press.

Convenient timing. The AMPTP strikes a deal with the DGA and is now prepared to re-open negotiations with the WGA immediately after they force majeure the studio writer and producer deals out of existence.

Once the WGA deal is closed (and I suspect it will be soon), there needs to be an immediate investigation into the AMPTP's bad faith negotiations. If I'm right, this could end up costing the studios and networks a lot more than money.
