According to the L.A. Times, Tom Cruises's production company United Artists is to be the first to strike an interim agreement with the WGA and hire writers during the continuing strike.
The guild, which is close to finalizing a deal with UA that is expected to be signed possibly as early as today, is also in discussions with several other independent companies, including Lionsgate and the Weinstein Co., about similar interim agreements.
The agreement with UA would benefit the company's distributor and majority shareholder, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc., by supplying the studio with films once they were produced.
