SAG Rejects Game Contract

Posted by Zonk on from the here-we-go-again dept.

Reuters is reporting that the Screen Actor's Guild has rejected the contract with the Games Industry, despite earlier signs negotiations would be successful. From the article: "The Screen Actors Guild's bitter infighting claimed another victim Tuesday as members of the national executive committee voted to reject the recently negotiated video game contract against the wishes of members and the negotiating committee. It is believed to be the first time in the union's 72-year history that board members have used the routine approval process to overrule the unanimous recommendations of a negotiating committee."

    Alec Baldwin: "....way to go, FAG."

    I prefer how the South Park/Team American guys call them. The Film Actors Guild, also known as FAG.

  3. Terrible news by squiggleslash · · Score: 2, Funny
    This is terrible news. How on earth will an industry that is putting a lot into R&D to develop virtual beings with simulated appearances and voices going to get actors to do voice overs and appear in mini-movies?

    Oh, hold on, I think I have an idea on how they can do it...
