Big News Is On The Way

I was going to write another article about the state (or non-state) of WGA-AMPTP negotiations, but that’s going to be preempted.
We’ve got big news coming.
Not just me.
Someone else you know.
And another person you know.
And maybe some people you’ve heard of.
Watch this space.

Matt Damon?
I would like to go on record as saying this sucks.
Craig, Terry and Ted scripting the Merv Griffin biopic? Say it isn’t so …
Taking a stab here… Craig, Terry and Ted and possibly forming a writer’s co-op prodco, like those other guys they 6 months ago. Just a thought.
Aw, you’re torturing me, you really are!
I’m with Murph on this one.
Has Craig caught the cloverfield/viral marketing meme?
I’m hoping for a steel cage match, Craig vs. BROOKS BARNES.
Okay, fine. I’ll admit to it.
I am absolutely not one of the people Craig was referring to here.
All we know with abolute certainty is that the president of the new studio will be Mr Olson. :)
I demand to know what you’re up to, Mazin. And the announcement better have a positive spin and murky details.
A year or more ago, a bunch of us over at the Nicholl writers site were fantasizing about how cool it would be to put together a production company comprised of award-placing writers.
We thought, wouldn’t it be great to see scripts turned into movies pretty much as written, instead of the cobbled up, hacked together crap you can end up with, after everyone from the director to the actors to producers put their fingerprint on it.
Maybe…
No fair! Tease!!
I know for a fact it has to do with Farming. And Jack Russell terriers.
Two words:
Caffeinated Tofu
Aaaargh! I know, they’re going to give us residuals and a standard gross participation provision. Hahaha.
You’re pregnant, aren’t you?
If this turns out to be another Segway, I’m going to be pretty pissed.
Oil futures? It’s a sound investment.
Sue Ellen shot JR? Is that it?
Well, it was just announced on Variety that Craig, Ted Elliot, Terry, John August, Derek Haas, and a bunch of other great writers formed a collective with FOX that sets up a pretty sweet deal. Congrats Craig!!!!

Looks like the cat is out of the bag.
Rock on, Craig and all. Congrats.
