    That’s not really scabbing?

    Is Ryan Reynolds a scab because he’s still filming Deadpool 3?

        But they didn’t, all 3 have operated under the unions own rules here.

          No, Maher and Berrymore were told explicitly that if their shows came back during the strike they would be scabbing.

        Everything I’ve read has suggested Drew Barrymore was going unscripted until the WGA strike was over (i.e. they were fully working within the terms of the strike).

        Do you have a source to suggest otherwise?

          Unscripted is improv, which is a type of writing and therefore scabbing. Ryan Reynolds wasn’t doing improv on Deadpool 3 once WGA went on strike.

          Reynolds work counted as writing since he’s a writer. Improv isn’t writing usually

            Pretty sure that ‘Improve’ tbe method, does not involve writing… it’s content that you come up with off the top of your head… there is no script

                Yes and no? Improve is off the top of your head and is usually an acting method or exercise… writers do not improv. the writer may give prompts to have an actor or speaker go off the actors own ideas, but there is no structured writing and ideas coming from the writer going into the content of the improv exercise or method… whose line is it anyways, is a good example… there are prompts for the actors, but all content came from the actor themselves.

            Lol you’d rather fake the meaning of words than believe a Mother Jones article, of all things, is bullshit.

              Sorry about that, was a misunderstanding on my part.

      Deadpool 3 is filming using a shooting script written by WGA members. Barrymore and Maher would have started filming with themselves replacing the work their writers would’ve done.
