Film School Rejects: WGA Strike: Heroes Prepping Early Finale

  • Steve · 2 years ago
    I wrote a movie (I am a WGA member) and received a whole 4 cents per copy sold. Yes, I am not joking! That is about what a writer gets on a DVD sale. 4 pennies! The people who press the DVD make ten times that. This is one of the main issues the WGA strike is about. Please spread this info around to people so they realize the writers are not being greedy. If the studio sells a DVD for 12.99/copy, where does all the money go? Shouldn't there be some fair % sharing?

    Steve -- I've heard that this is what the strike is all about, and I can't say that I disagree with the writers. It is a shame though, that the two sides can't come to an agreement. The studios do make plenty of profit, and building a deal that addresses the present and future mediums (DVD and Online) is completely logical. Personally, I think that the ones who are really paying the price here are the fans, and that is truly sad.

    please dont call names.
    No hate speech allowed, the sentence belows says. So please dont let your emotions cloud the reality of this.
    Im sad too that this happens for all the fans.
    But whats even more sad is that the people who write these shows are, when it comes down to it, doing it for themselfs. As all of us they're just making some money. There doing this first for themself, second because the love their job.
    And i agree, eventhough all my favorite shows are cancelling too, with their statement.
    I truly support them, i hope the injustice will be set right.
    Allthough its sad that all the shows will maybe get cancelled, it sucks, but we are just spoiled with all the very good series.

    The people who make those series deserve credit, and most defenitly the writers. They make everything possible for us, so why should the get no respect?. They should get the money what they're worth for!!
