The Peach State is making waves in the entertainment sector as it steadily climbs the ladder to become a film production powerhouse. The Georgia Department of Economic Development recently disclosed that a whopping $4.1 billion was expended on film and TV productions within the state in the last year alone. This remarkable growth is a testament to Georgia's burgeoning film industry, which hosted 390 productions between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023. These productions encompassed 31 feature films, 55 independent films, 241 television and episodic productions, 40 commercials, and 23 music videos.
A significant milestone was achieved as Georgia surpassed New York in soundstage space, with projections indicating that it's on track to overtake California by 2027. The evolution of filming space in Georgia is nothing short of impressive, expanding from 45,000 square feet in 2010 to an anticipated 7 million square feet by 2025. This exponential growth reflects the state's commitment to nurturing a conducive environment for film productions.
The financial trajectory also paints a promising picture. From 2012 to 2022, film-related capital investment in Georgia summed up to $1.3 billion. Moreover, an additional $2.9 billion is earmarked for construction between 2023 and 2027, signaling a booming infrastructure growth propelled by the success of the state's film industry.
At the helm of this success is the state's film tax credit, which, according to Kelsey Moore, the executive director of the Georgia Screen Entertainment Coalition, has been instrumental in metamorphosing Georgia into a global filming hub. The billions spent have not only enriched local businesses but also created a myriad of job opportunities, contributing significantly to the state's economy.
However, it's not all smooth sailing as the state's film tax credit is currently under scrutiny. State Economist Jeffrey Dorfman has proposed that the tax credit should either be revoked or scaled back. Contrarily, proponents argue that such a move could potentially deter productions, driving them to other states and, in turn, adversely affecting the local economy.
The narrative of Georgia's film industry is one of resilience, strategic investment, and an unwavering commitment to becoming a global leader in film production. As the state continues on this upward trajectory, the spotlight shines brighter on Georgia, heralding a new era of film production not just in the United States, but on the global stage.

Georgia's Film Industry Skyrockets, Set Up to Surpass California by 2027

In a significant development that underscores the importance of collective bargaining, President Joe Biden has extended his commendation towards the tentative agreement reached between the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). This agreement comes as a breath of fresh air, marking the end of a 146-day strike that had significantly impacted the entertainment industry.
In a statement released on Monday, President Biden applauded the efforts of both parties in reaching a consensus that would allow writers to resume their crucial role in storytelling. He emphasized the importance of the stories that reflect the essence of our nation and the world, acknowledging the hardships that industry laborers across various practices and mediums have endured over the last five months.
"This agreement, including assurances related to artificial intelligence, did not come easily," Biden remarked, highlighting the challenges faced during the negotiation process. "But its formation is a testament to the power of collective bargaining. There simply is no substitute for employers and employees coming together to negotiate in good faith toward an agreement that makes a business stronger and secures the pay, benefits, and dignity that workers deserve."
The President's statement resonates with the broader narrative of ensuring fair compensation and working conditions for workers, extending beyond the entertainment industry to other sectors as well. He urged all employers to recognize that all workers, including writers, actors, and autoworkers, deserve a fair share of the value their labor contributes to creating.
The WGA-AMPTP agreement has been a focal point of discussion, especially given the stalemate over AI usage and staffing levels for writing rooms that it aimed to resolve. The tentative agreement reached on Sunday night has been hailed as a significant step towards restoring a major piece of California&rsquo;s economy back to work.
The reaction to the agreement wasn't confined to the presidential office; several other political figures and industry stakeholders expressed their support and gratitude for the resolution of the strike. California Governor Gavin Newsom, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, and Senator Bernie Sanders were among those who took to social media to praise the deal. Their messages echoed a similar sentiment of solidarity and the importance of dignified working conditions for writers.
The entertainment industry, a critical component of California's economy, has been under the spotlight, with the strike highlighting the pressing issues faced by writers, especially in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. The agreement, which also addresses concerns related to artificial intelligence, sets a precedent for how negotiations can pave the way for fair compensation and working conditions.
As the industry now looks towards a period of recovery and rejuvenation, the WGA-AMPTP agreement serves as a beacon of hope for other labor unions and industry bodies advocating for better working conditions and fair compensation. The endorsement from President Biden amplifies the message of the agreement, reinforcing the importance of collective bargaining in achieving equitable solutions.
The journey towards this agreement has been a testament to the resilience and solidarity displayed by the writers and the broader entertainment community. It also reflects a growing awareness and acknowledgment of the challenges faced by creative professionals in the modern industry landscape.
In conclusion, the WGA-AMPTP agreement, backed by the commendation from President Biden, marks a significant milestone in the ongoing dialogue surrounding workers' rights, fair compensation, and the ethical use of artificial intelligence in the entertainment industry. As the industry moves forward, the lessons learned from this negotiation are likely to resonate and influence future discussions and agreements.

President Biden Praises WGA-AMPTP Agreement

In a landmark development, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) have inked a new three-year contract, marking the end of a 140-day strike that had brought the entertainment industry to a standstill. This agreement, unveiled on September 26, 2023, heralds a new era of enhanced compensation, better working conditions, and significant protections against the encroachment of artificial intelligence in the creative process.
The financial contours of the deal are nothing short of a victory for the writers. The total value of the contract is pegged at a whopping $233 million, a substantial leap from the initial $86 million offer by the AMPTP. This financial augmentation reflects a broader recognition of the indispensable role writers play in the burgeoning entertainment landscape, especially in the face of the streaming revolution that has reshaped viewing habits globally.
One of the cornerstone achievements of this agreement is the structured wage increment for writers, aligned with the rates previously agreed upon by the studios and the Directors Guild of America. The writers are set to enjoy a 5% wage increase in the first year, followed by a 4% increase in the second, and a 3.5% increase in the third year. This structured wage increment is a significant stride towards ensuring that the writers' earnings are commensurate with the pivotal role they play in content creation.
In an industry increasingly flirting with artificial intelligence, the new contract has laid down robust protections for writers. A key provision in the agreement stipulates that studios cannot mandate writers to use AI tools in their creative process. Moreover, if any AI-generated material is provided to writers, the studios are required to disclose it. This is a monumental step in preserving the human essence of storytelling, ensuring that the creative reins remain firmly in the hands of the writers.
Furthermore, the WGA has secured the rights regarding the use of its members' work in data sets meant to train AI programs. The guild reserves the right to assert that such exploitation of writers&rsquo; material is prohibited, thereby safeguarding the intellectual property rights of the writers in the digital age.
The contract also addresses the evolving dynamics of streaming compensation, introducing a bonus structure for streaming titles that perform exceptionally well. Starting in 2024, streaming titles with budgets exceeding $30 million and viewed by 20% or more of the service&rsquo;s domestic subscribers in the first 90 days of release will trigger a bonus equal to 50% of the fixed domestic and foreign residual. This is a forward-thinking provision that aligns writers' compensation with the success of their work on streaming platforms.
Moreover, for feature-length streaming projects with a budget at or above $30 million, the minimal initial compensation for a story or teleplay has been set at $100,000, marking an 18% increase from the current rate. This adjustment reflects a more realistic valuation of writers' contributions to high-budget streaming projects.
In a bid to ensure a conducive working environment, the contract mandates studios to hire a minimum number of writers and writer-producers for both development and production phases. This provision ensures that there is adequate staffing to meet the creative demands of projects, thereby fostering a more collaborative and productive working environment.
The agreement also facilitates a more transparent relationship between writers and streaming services regarding viewership data. The WGA will now receive confidential viewership data on streaming shows based on hours viewed, although only aggregate data can be publicly shared. This provision empowers writers with better insights into the performance of their work, fostering a more informed dialogue between writers and studios.
In conclusion, the new WGA-AMPTP contract is a monumental step towards creating a more equitable and rewarding working environment for writers. As the entertainment industry continues to evolve in the face of technological advancements and changing viewer preferences, this agreement sets a robust precedent for ensuring that the rights and contributions of writers are duly recognized and rewarded.

$750/Day Home Building Commercial Casting Call

<h2>Prospects for TV Production Restart Following WGA's Agreement.</h2>
After an extensive period of nearly 150 days, Hollywood studios have finally reached a preliminary accord with the Writers Guild of America for a fresh contract. Unless unexpected objections arise from WGA members, the writer's segment of the Hollywood strike is effectively concluded.
So, when can viewers expect their beloved shows to return to screens? And when will highly anticipated films resume production?
The concise response is as soon as feasibly possible. WGA members have consistently expressed their eagerness to reoccupy the writers' rooms. Concurrently, the studios, represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers in guild negotiations, have incurred significant financial losses during the strike and need prompt production revival to mitigate these losses.
However, specific prerequisites must be fulfilled before this revival can occur, commencing with the contract's ratification.
In the coming days, the precise terms of the deal will be formalized in official documentation. Subsequently, the WGA Negotiating Committee will conduct a vote to decide on recommending and transmitting the agreement to the guild's board for approval. This vote is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday.
Following the acquisition of the contract, guild leaders will disseminate it among members for a ratification vote. While the guild has not disclosed a specific timeline for this vote, it must allow members sufficient time to scrutinize the contract before casting their votes.
It is worth noting that guild leaders may opt to lift the restraining order and conclude the strike on a specific yet undetermined date and time, pending ratification. According to the WGA, this would enable writers to return to work during the ratification vote without impeding the membership's right to decide on contract approval.
Writers are advised not to resume work until duly authorized by the guild.
Another factor adding complexity is the ongoing strike by SAG-AFTRA since July 13, which the WGA has pledged to support until its resolution.
As of the latest update, the actors' guild and studios still need to set a date for resuming negotiations. However, insiders suggest that recommencing talks with the actors has been a priority for some studios, especially when discussions with the WGA encountered obstacles.
Given that actors and writers struck for similar reasons, the guild will likely secure a deal on terms akin to the WGA at the earliest opportunity.
One of the final points of contention between WGA and AMPTP centered on safeguarding members who prefer to wait until SAG-AFTRA resolves before returning to work. Or, as articulated in a memo to WGA members in early August, to "honor other unions' picket lines as they have honored ours during this strike."
The specifics of the deal still need to be disclosed. Notably, the WGA suspended its picket lines on Sunday but encouraged members to join SAG-AFTRA pickets until the guild issues authorization to resume work.
Regarding late-night programming, the timeline remains somewhat uncertain, but viewers can anticipate figures like Meyers, Fallon, and Colbert to be among the first to resume work. These hosts were some of the quickest to halt production and could be among the first to restart. However, the exact timeline will be determined by each show. Nevertheless, in August, a knowledgeable source hinted that late-night shows could be operational within as little as two weeks.
Representatives for these programs have yet to respond to TheWrap's request for comment.
The scripted series will likely be the last to return to screens. While writers can begin crafting new scripts, television shows rely on actors to resume work. IN AUGUST, former NBC Studios president Tom Nunan suggested that the most optimistic scenario would be to have network shows back in production in January.
Insiders, however, posit that this timeline could be expedited. "Law &amp; Order: SVU" showrunner Warren Leight outlined a potential path on social media that would enable 13-episode seasons of scripted series to proceed if the strike concluded by October. Leight proposed that once hired, writers would require less than the customary five to six weeks lead time to initiate the season since they'd be producing only 13 episodes. Furthermore, he noted that if everyone agreed to a one-week Christmas break instead of the usual two weeks of unpaid leave, productions might manage to shoot five episodes before the new year.
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav also expressed optimism this month, affirming during an investor conference in early September that "as soon as these strikes are resolved, everybody is ready to get back to work."
Nonetheless, it should be underscored that SAG still needs to secure its deal. Without actors, no scripted series can recommence. Michelle Hurd, "Star Trek: Picard" actress and the Los Angeles VP of the actors' guild, elucidated in August that there was minimal likelihood of SAG reentering negotiations before the WGA resolved.
"The bottom line is that we can't go back into negotiations until they agree with the WGA," Hurd stated. "So this makes it, you know, as long as there's actual true good faith bargaining happening, then that path to us getting back is closer because they're at that table."

When Will Production Resume After WGA Deal?

With the Writers Guild's strike poised to conclude following a tentative agreement, attention now shifts to SAG-AFTRA. At the same time, IATSE and the American Federation of Musicians await their turns on the negotiation stage.
The subsequent contracts under scrutiny belong to the American Federation of Musicians: the Basic Theatrical Motion Picture and Basic Television Motion Picture Agreements, slated to expire on November 14. Negotiation dates with the AMPTP are pending.
Unlike the Directors Guild, which secured a contract without resorting to a strike on June 3, the WGA, engaged in a strike since May 2, rejected the industry's customary "pattern bargaining" practice, where the subsequent union in line typically mirrors the preceding deal.
With the WGA achieving terms arguably superior to the DGA after 146 days of picketing, SAG-AFTRA may view this agreement not as a strict pattern but as a foundational model. This framework could address many of SAG-AFTRA's demands, including enhanced wages, innovative streaming residual calculations, and protections against potential artificial intelligence-related abuses.
This juncture may be a fresh starting point when SAG-AFTRA's negotiations recommence. While the leaders expressed readiness to return to the table since the actors' strike commenced on July 14, SAG-AFTRA harbors unique concerns, such as minimum staffing and employment duration in TV writers' rooms, kept from the DGA or WGA contracts.
One pressing issue for actors pertains to self-taped auditions, which became widespread during the COVID-19 pandemic. SAG-AFTRA contends that these auditions lack regulation and oversight, posing an undue burden on performers' lives. They advocate for reasonable guidelines, broader access to alternative casting methods, and protections against exploitation.
Before the strike, both sides tentatively agreed to numerous self-taping rules, addressing technical requisites and other concerns. While SAG-AFTRA continues to push for further protections, these prior agreements could serve as a basis for future negotiations unless the companies adopt a rigid stance, dismissing them post-strike.
The WGA's success in mitigating potential AI abuses may provide a blueprint for SAG-AFTRA to tackle similar threats to performers. However, SAG-AFTRA asserts that the AMPTP failed to address critical concerns, potentially jeopardizing performers' roles adequately.
Finances, encompassing wages and residuals, remain challenging, with SAG-AFTRA advocating for an 11% pay increase in the initial contract year. Nevertheless, the prolonged work hiatus may have offset substantial portions of this increment.
After the actors' strike concludes, the AMPTP will face negotiations with IATSE in the coming year. IATSE members, who have stood in solidarity with striking actors and writers, have incurred significant losses in terms of wages and employer contributions to their pension and health plans. Whether this hardship will culminate in a more assertive stance or a reluctance to strike again remains uncertain.
In the interim, WGA members must ratify their new agreement. The Ellen Stutzman-led WGA negotiating committee is slated to vote on the agreement's recommendation for approval by the WGAW Board and WGAE Council in votes tentatively scheduled for Tuesday.
While the first casualties of the WGA strike, late-night comedy and daytime talk shows, are set to return promptly due to their exclusion from SAG-AFTRA's ongoing strike, films and scripted TV shows without Interim Agreements with SAG-AFTRA will remain in limbo until the strike's resolution.

Post-WGA Agreement: What's Next?

<h2>SAG-AFTRA Extends Congratulations to WGA on Tentative Agreement, Calls on Studios to Resume Negotiations with Actors.</h2>
SAG-AFTRA, a staunch supporter of the writers throughout the WGA strike, wasted no time applauding the guild's recent achievement in securing a tentative deal.
In an official statement, the union affirmed its ongoing strike stance and urged the AMPTP to re-engage with the actors at the negotiating table to hash out the essential terms for its members.
"SAG-AFTRA commends the WGA for reaching a tentative agreement with the AMPTP following an impressive 146 days of unwavering determination and unity on the picket lines. While we anticipate reviewing the specifics of the WGA and AMPTP's tentative accord, we remain steadfast in our commitment to securing the requisite conditions for our members," the statement emphasized.
"From the inception of the WGA strike, SAG-AFTRA members have stood shoulder to shoulder with the writers on the picket lines. We continue our strike action under our TV/Theatrical contract. We strongly encourage the CEOs of studios and streaming platforms, along with the AMPTP, to return to negotiations and establish an equitable deal that our members rightfully expect and request."
This declaration comes amid the actors' 73-day strike period.
SAG-AFTRA initiated their strike on July 14, a fortnight after their contract lapsed on June 30. The union greenlit their strike authorization vote, securing an overwhelming 98% mandate, on June 5.
Discussions broke down on July 13, marking the first actors' strike against the film and TV industry since 1980. Although negotiations were ongoing, skeptics speculated that studios employed this tactic to afford specific Hollywood blockbusters more promotional lead time.
Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA's National Executive Director and chief negotiator, consistently emphasized the union's readiness to return to the negotiating table with the AMPTP, which, throughout this process, has engaged exclusively with one party at a time.
"We've remained prepared, eager, and capable of continuing negotiations with them, and we sincerely hope the AMPTP will rejoin us at the table," he stated emphatically last month.

<h2>Director Shawn Levy of "Deadpool 3" Discusses Exploration of "Fox-Marvel Legacy."</h2>
Deadpool and Wolverine are set to officially enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a thrilling development for fans. Director Shawn Levy, at the helm of Deadpool 3, hints at introducing more X-Men characters into the film. When discussing the highly anticipated first R-rated release from Marvel Studios, Levy emphasized that the movie will delve into the "Fox-Marvel Legacy," acknowledging the bygone era of Marvel-based films under 20th Century Fox and their integration into the MCU.
In an interview with Total Film, Levy remarked, "Deadpool and Wolverine stand as emblematic figures within the Marvel universe, particularly within the Fox era of Marvel. We won't simply brush aside the significant impact of that Fox legacy; it played a pivotal role in shaping what we now recognize as the MCU. Fox's influence extended to shaping the careers of Ryan, Hugh, and myself. There's a wealth of history there, including the extensive Marvel legacy at Fox, and undoubtedly, that will be woven into our narrative."

<h2>Producers for the upcoming 'Batman vs. Superman' feature film, Man of Steel 2 is now hiring crew for the production in Detroit, Michigan.</h2>

Producers will most likely need make-up artists, grips, camera operators, hair stylists, and wardrobe professionals.

The new feature film centers on The Man of Steel as he faces off against the Dark Knight.

It is rumored that Bryan Cranston, Mark Strong, Denzel Washington, Idris Elba and Joaquin Phoenix were considered for Lex Luthor. But it is confirmed that Amy Adams will portray Lois Lane, Henry Cavill will be Superman, Gal Gadot will act as Wonder Woman and Ben Affleck will portray Batman.

Given that Man of Steel has already made over $650 milion worldwide, it is little to no surprise that director Zach Snyder and screenwriter David Goyer would not be returning for the sequel.

James Gunn and Peter Safran's announcement to become co-CEOS of DC Studios caused a seismic upheaval in the plans for the DC Universe. In response, Gunn has taken to Twitter multiple times to dispel false rumors, most recently regarding Robert Pattinson's Batman being part of "their wider DC Universe," debunked with an unequivocal statement that it is "entirely untrue."When it comes to Cavill's departure from Superman, Gunn posted a tweet expressing his thoughts., "Peter &amp; I have a DC slate ready to go, which we couldn't be more over-the-moon about&hellip;Among those on the slate is Superman. In the initial stages, our story will be focusing on an earlier part of Superman's life, so the character will not be played by Henry Cavill."
Through a heartfelt statement on Instagram, Cavill revealed his conversations with Gunn and Safran that led to his leaving the role. "I will, after all, not be returning as Superman."
He said that he was initially "told by the studio to announce <a href="https://hypebeast.com/2022/10/henry-cavill-return-as-superman-dc-comics-warner-bros-black-adam">[his] return back in October"</a> and hinted that it seemed as if they set it in stone at the time. However, due to his recent conversation with DC execs Gunn and Safran, there appears to be immense change to the universe they are trying to build, leading to the removal of Henry Cavill as Superman.
Check out Henry Cavill's complete message below. His DC costars, including Jason Momoa and Zachary Levi, have displayed their endorsement for him in the comments section of his post, expressing great encouragement for what is yet to come.
