Writers had back to United Artists because they agreed to sign an

interim deal, allowing striking feature writers to begin work for the studio.

I hope others will follow UA’s example and sign an agreement with WGA.

UA says the deal reflects similar terms in the interim pact the WGA inked last week with David Letterman’s Worldwide Pants.

Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner have 35% stake in UA — have the final say in operations. The deal affords the studio an opportunity to move forward on projects.
