The union would like performers “to share in the rewards of a successful show, without bearing any of the risk,” the group that lobbies for studios says.

    Exactly. How are exactly actors support to “share in failure” as their nonsense quote suggests?

      I found it to be a valid argument. If an actor wants a cut of the profit, they should have to take a huge pay cut to do the show.

      Keanu is kind of famous for this. He gave up his salary on The Matrix to the production team and raked it in via royalties.

      It’s how it works in private industry as well…I’ll take a lower salary at a start up for a percentage point.

      It’s a valid argument IMHO.

        These aren’t startups. This is WB, Paramount, Disney, and Netflix. An actual indie studio, A24, already made a tentative agreement with the guilds.
