Edward Mass posted:With regards to live-action Bebop, I think I read that the show went super over budget due to Cho breaking his leg and then COVID-19 happening. It's not that it wasn't a success, it's that it wasn't AS BIG a success as it needed to be to get renewed. At least, that was what I remember the official story being. Also the writing was complete dogshit. One of the things that is in the anime’s favor (aside from just overall style) is the pacing. The episodes are tight and fuckin move. The adaptation took the anime ideas and stretched them to hour long episodes, absolutely killing any pacing. Also, while I like Cho, the dude is 51 years old - five years older than Mustafa Shakir. The budget was the least of the fuckin problems with that show.

Khanstant posted:IIRC Netflix's lovely strategy was the back load payoffs, so they'd pay next to nothing for season 1 and maybe season 2 but promise much bigger cuts when they get to season 3 and 4... Which leads Netflix to cancel things before risking a season 3 and having to pay anyone for their work. So this isn’t just a Netflix thing. Disney does the same. They negotiate agreements where they pay lower rates for the first few seasons of a new show. What they often do after that is “rebrand” the show. The rebranded show is considered “new” for contractual purposes - thus allowing them to notice paying poo poo wages. Example - “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” becomes “The Suite Life on Deck”.

God I would loving love for these streaming services to have to open up their books and show the numbers. It's almost as if... there should be federal regulation on this kind of thing.

Argyle posted:I’m expecting the studios to eventually bend on just about everything, including AI. But as far as streaming residuals go, the streamers are going to fight tooth and nail to keep their viewership numbers secret. Netflix would happily keep Hollywood shut down until 2025 if it means they don’t have to share their numbers. I could absolutely see this. My social media bubble is all actors/writers/adjacent film workers, so I know I'm getting a very specific view on reactions to the strike, but one thing I love seeing go around is "A24 has been allowed to continue with multiple projects because they agreed to everything the WGA/SAG wanted. If they can do it, why can't the big studios?" And the more that stuff like that gets spread around, the weaker it makes the AMPTP look.

I'd be really curious to see how public opinion of the strike is over in more rural areas. I'm too close to this poo poo. I live in LA and have a variety of friends in the WGA/SAG, so everything I see on social media is intensely pro-strike, pro-solidarity, anti-studio. But like... if you asked some rando in Iowa or Alabama or Kansas what they thought of this, I wonder how things would fall. Because, generally speaking, it feels like not many people are vibing with the studios' messaging. But again, my perspective in insanely skewed.

https://deadline.com/2023/09/writers-strike-contract-talks-latest-1235541351/quote:The Writers Guild told its members Friday that despite the united front the streamers and studios have shown in public during the guild’s 130-day strike, several of the legacy companies privately have expressed “both the desire and willingness to negotiate an agreement that adequately addresses writers’ issues.” Can't wait for the AMPTP to fracture.

Argyle posted:I was on an animated show when the strike was called. There will be new episodes this fall since we finished them months ago, but we've already lost episodes for 2024. On my side of things (working at a company that does translations/subtitling for features), we've already had numerous project delays to the point that I keep looking at my schedule and after a few more weeks... there's just nothing.

Edward Mass posted:I’d give the AMPTP about a month before they need actors, given the turnaround time of filming for Spring television. There are multiple films my workplace is waiting to get our hands on that have been delayed due to needing ADR. So I hope that the AMPTP comes to the table soon.

For every SAG member on strike, there are probably 100+ people who have little to no work because of the strike. If you just think about production people - set designers, prop makers, sound recordists, grips, gaffers, electricians, construction crews, transpo crews, catering crews. Tens of thousands are without work when nothing is rolling. Sure, there's some commercials getting filmed and what not, but that can't make up for the studios grinding to a halt. And reality TV was already flooded with crews, so there's little extra work to be found there. And this is just talking production people. Look at business on the edges of the process - prop houses, equipment rental houses, costume houses, production equipment (tables, tents, walkies, trucks) rentals. They're seeing their businesses suffer as well. The company I work for is hit hard right now too. We do translation/localization/subtitling for films. Well... films are getting delayed. Films are getting moved off the slate. My team has had multiple films we were prepared to work on get pushed. There are a handful of films that are ready to release but are waiting on a handful of ADR spots. And whelp, that means the film is dead in the water. We talk about the money the studios are losing, but there are literally hundreds of thousands of people that are getting hit really hard by the AMPTP continuing to be greedy dickheads.

Parakeet vs. Phone posted:It came up in another thread that Coyote vs. Acme was especially bad because it was truly pointless. Batgirl was at least rumored to be a mess in pre-screenings and a lot of other cancellations were niche projects that you could sort of justify or say that it wouldn't happen to your project. This was a project with a star attached to a strong IP (or lol if they managed to squander Looney Tunes) that apparently came in on-time and on-budget and was screening well. And they killed it. So that pissed a lot of creatives off. Not just "screening well" but like people were coming away raving about. The people in test screenings loving loved it. But nah, gently caress that. I need $30 mil.
