As of this writing, no official statement has been released, but the WGA has allegedly made a Worldwide Pants-esque pact with United Artists, which will allow the Tom Cruise-topped studio to employ screenwriters for the duration of the strike.
In more strike news: if NBC telecasts the Golden Globes, the WGA will picket and members of SAG––ie: stars––will not show up. So the HFPA is hoping NBC will back away and allow them to go on with the show as a private, non-televised party.
Pamela McClintock opens her mainstream box office report by peddling the “Juno is a crossover hit” spin yet again; the same film is named in the fourth paragraph of the specialty report as the co-leader of a “B.O. surge in the specialty marketplace.” The news–and it is actually news–that There Will Be Blood made $26,216 on each of its 51 screens is relegated to graph 5.
Speaking of: the National Society of Film Critics has named There Will Be Blood as their top film of 2007.
