The three-month-old writers strike is finally over.
The former Walt Disney chief executive Michael Eisner told CNBC. “It’s over. The major media companies and the Writers Guild of America made the deal, they shook hands on the deal. It’s going on Saturday to the writers in general.”
But even if the strike came to its end, the producers are still not in the work. Studios will be reluctant to ramp up development too aggressively because they must still contend with a possible walkout by actors in June.
Still, development projects frozen at the beginning of November can now finally begin to thaw.
Among them is DreamWorks' "The Trials of the Chicago 7," Steven Spielberg's narrative take on the 1968 riots at the Democratic National Convention.
