Deal! Hollywood writers end their strike
鈥榊ou can hear the sigh of relief.鈥�
After nearly five months, Hollywood writers have ended their strike, which brought the American film and TV industry to a halt.
The Writers Guild of America said in a statement that union leaders 鈥榲oted unanimously鈥� in favour of a deal - which some writers have called 鈥榚xceptional鈥�. It鈥檒l now be voted on by union members.
Some of the main sticking points included payments for reruns (known as residuals), and AI. The 大象传媒鈥檚 Vivienne Nunis talks us through the detail.
But the actors鈥� strike continues. The 大象传媒鈥檚 Regan Morris is at the picket line in Los Angeles where she鈥檚 been speaking to actors, including stunt performer Max Calder and Frances Fisher from the film Titanic.
