According to the Hollywood Reporter, ABC has officially terminated roughly 30 overall deals- both non-writing and writing. This is a huge indication that the strike is having at least some financial effect on Networks and Studio’s. This is somewhat surprising considering they dropped a few big names, like Larry Charles (former Seinfeld Writer, Borat Director), Taye Diggs (Actor/Producer) and Producer Sean Bailey (Matchstick Men, Gone Baby Gone). So, as you can tellm there not just “cutting the fat”- these are high profile filmmakers. So when will this strike end? And does anyone else remember there was supposed to be a Golden Globes Award show playing right now???
And since ABC is on the brain, check out this short behind the scenes clip of Ana Ortiz from Ugly Betty. Ana is a really sweet person, not to mention amazing as Hilda on the show. This video was shot with a small hand held camera, so dont expect anything too fabulous! haha Check it out below….
