Last minute calls are being made by Hollywood chiefs to try and prevent an actors strike. Deadline understands that Endeavor boss Ari Emanuel and CAA chief Bryan Lourd made an offer to help find a pathway to a deal between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP.
Emanuel contacted SAG-AFTRA leadership last week to prevent a total shutdown if the actors join the writers on strike, and Lourd made similar calls. “This wasn’t just about stopping a strike, it was about finding a way forward for everybody” a source close to events told Deadline.
The union was receptive to the uberagent Emanuel’s outreach and sought to have him at least close to the process as talks come down in the final hours before the current extended contract runs out at midnight on July 12. “These are reasonable people,” an insider said of the feedback to Emanuel’s call.
