Hugh continues observing his dietary & training regimen. He brought his own meal ( part of his Wolverine diet) with him. What a professional 👍

[jo]

It looks like that meet & meal took place at Shawn's place --

Can you believe someone on "X" / Twitter called Hugh & Ryan "scabs" because of the informal meeting with Shawn?

*Didn't this guy not realize that Shawn & Ryan were likely trying to distract Hugh from his divorce woes?

*Didn't he know that Hugh and Ryan have donated $ 1 million each to the actor's fund?

*At least there was near unanimous condemnation of the tweet ( "didn't understand what scabbing means"/" didn't know of the donations" - nearly 400 comments.


It is so easy to use social media to paint a malicious picture of others

Tentative agreement on writers strike reached

Maybe the actors strike next on negotiation table?

See article under Off-Topic: Understanding the Film Business!


Assuming there will also be a resolution of the actors strike soon --
how long before filming resumes in the UK?

Was the latest photo of Hugh walking by the river taken in the UK? Has he returned to London in anticipation of the coming resolution of the strikes. Maybe that was what Hugh, Ryan & Shawn were discussing in that seemingly hasty meal together at Shawn's place?

As the WGA strike draws to a close, first stop on the road to normalcy will be late night — where producers are already plotting a return to air within the next two to three weeks.

As they were already filming when the pause happened, presumably the screenplay was ready for the shoot... usually revised as they film. Sets were likely already set up at Pinewood Studios...and outside sets already set up in the UK ( maybe arranged or put on standby).

Actors strike needed to be resolved soon.

Shawn Levy Promises ‘Deadpool 3’ Will Honor ‘Fox Legacy’ of New MCU Characters
While Ryan Reynold's Deadpool and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine have joined Disney's Marvel universe, Levy wanted to maintain their distinct histories in his new movie.

Shawn Levy’s upcoming “Deadpool 3” is set to be a momentous occasion for superhero fans. In addition to Hugh Jackman’s long-awaited return as Wolverine and Ryan Reynold’s third full outing as Deadpool, the film will mark both characters’ entry into Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe following the studio’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox.

In a new interview with Total Film Magazine, Levy explained that bringing Deadpool and Wolverine into the Disney fold doesn’t have to mean that the new film will negate their history at Fox. The director said that his upcoming film will explore the distinct tones that the characters established during their Fox era rather than simply molding them to fit the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“Deadpool and Wolverine are iconic Marvel characters; more specifically, iconic Marvel-of-the-Fox-era characters,” Levy said. “We’re not going to pretend: ‘Oh, we snap our fingers, and suddenly that Fox legacy doesn’t exist, and it shaped a lot of what we now know as the MCU.’ Fox also shaped Ryan’s career, Hugh’s career and my career. So there’s a lot of history there, and there’s a lot of Marvel history at Fox. And certainly that’s a part of our storytelling.

ANALYSIS
WGA & AMPTP Deal’s Impact On Film: Uptick In Feature Writers Job Market, But Actor Scheduling Conflicts Down The Road
By Anthony D'Alessandro, Justin Kroll

With an excitement in the air after the WGA and AMPTP’s tentative deal and with scribes poised to return to daytime and late-night TV talk shows, the new agreement’s impact on the motion picture side may not be as immediate given how those unfinished feature productions hinge on studios settling with SAG-AFTRA.


With the possibility of writers rooms returning to work during the ratification vote by the guild before the contract is sealed, there could be situations where a TV series in the works will take precedence over a film project once actors return, and vice versa. It’s a situation on par with what occurred during Covid: Scheduling conflicts with actors are bound to ensue once the industry is fully back up in running. There was a situation during Covid where Nicholas Hoult had to drop out of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One due to its duties on Hulu’s The Great. We could see similar situations where a project loses an actor due to their commitment on a first priority project as TV rooms will be pumping out scripts much faster than scribes on the feature side.

As Deadline’s Peter White reported today, there is optimism that the majority of network dramas and comedies will be able to launch in the new year thanks to news of a pending deal last night. Should the SAG-AFTRA strike end in the near future, most feature productions are eyeing a 2024 start or re-start date. That also gives studios plenty of time to get their below-the-line crews together, in addition to cast, which could resolve potential scheduling conflicts with actors.


‘Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning – Part One’ & ‘Deadpool 3’
Paramount/Ryan Reynolds Instagram

As expected due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, the 2024 theatrical release schedule remains in great flux. One motion picture marketing source over the weekend characterized next year’s release calendar as “not real,” meaning it remains in question whether movies which haven’t completed production, i.e. Marvel Studios/Disney’s Deadpool 3 (currently dated for May 3, 2024) and Mission: Impossible 8 (June 28, 2024), and Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse (TBD), the latter which requires plenty of voiceover work, even meet their release dates.

That said, the silver linings for motion picture studios given the tentative agreement are that scribes can now huddle with directors if needed should uncompleted movies require any polishing. In addition to the movies above, we understand that Warner Bros.’ Jenna Ortega Beetlejuice movie has a few more days left of production before it’s 100% wrapped. Paramount’s Gladiator sequel from Ridley Scott also requires more shooting.

In addition, the writers of any screenplays that weren’t delivered prior to the strike would soon be able to finish them.


Also, studios can start meeting with candidates and putting offers out on open writing assignments (OWAs) on films — e.g. the new DC’s Batman: The Brave and the Bold, which has Andy Muschietti set as director.

As for the spec market, while there may be a n increase in business as writers’ reps can now submit original scripts from clients to studio execs. Some sources with writing clients believe the immediate market will be slow, and that there’s apt to be a bigger uptick after SAG-AFTRA ends their strike, the reason being that actors are cautious about the optics of attaching themselves to packages during the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Additionally, with the deal points of the tentative agreement not public yet, it remains to be seen what the precise gains were for feature writers. We could learn as soon as tomorrow when the WGAE and WGAW vote on the approval of the new deal, or in the next few days when it’s sent for ratification.

In the Aug. 11 proposal from AMPTP to scribes, made public on Aug. 22, an offer was made for feature writers who are employed on the first draft of an original screenplay to receive the first opportunity to perform a rewrite at no less than the applicable minimum compensation. Also offered at that time by studios were increases for feature writers of SVOD movies, with writers on projects of 96 minutes or more with a budget of $40M or more made for an SVOD platform with 20M or more subscribers seeing an increase of $100K (+18.3%). Also studios proposed that the residual base would increase by 25.7% to $75K.

We’ll update you as we learn more about feature writers’ benefits, and the motion picture industry’s maneuvers, from the new deal.

One thing shared by Shawn Levy was that they were already halfway through with filming...and that they were editing ( part of post production) what they have completed filming. Presumably the editing will work hand in hand with the new filmed scenes when filming resumes.

It is likely that Levy had planned what they would be doing during the time of the actors strike...and that they already have a screenplay that can be used for filming. Usual revisions happen with filming. The character of Deadpool (and maybe Wolverine, too?) may also be breaking the 4th wall as they film?

As shown on the trio's photo, Hugh was taking a meal from what looked like was his Wolverine diet. He has kept his beard so that trimming & styling it to suit what is planned for the Wolverine facial hair can be done immediately.

Filming will resume at Pinewood in the UK, though.

Good to see Hugh looking happy again.

They seem to be enjoying each other's company -- good for Hugh! And maybe they are now anticipating resumption of filming if the strike negotiation talks bear good results on Monday.

Photo taken with Taylor's camera. Message is also hers.


The three looked very joyous - maybe in early anticipation of their return to filming? Maybe some changes in the script ( after the end of writers strike) are already being discussed? Maybe new ideas came from the 2 or more months when they were editing the filmed scenes?
Maybe because they see that Hugh is getting back to his old self?

Someone noted that Ryan & Hugh are like father and son, with Ryan hovering and being protective of his friend?

SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP to Meet Again Wednesday After Full Day of Talks

Los Angeles, CA - July 26: Members of the Writers Guild of America (WGA), joined by members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), come together to picket in front of Paramount Studios, in Los Angeles, CA, Wednesday, July 26, 2023.

Actors union SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP concluded a full day of negotiations on Monday, the first time dealmakers have been in a room together since the union declared a strike on July 14.

While little details were shared about the talks, both sides plan to meet again this week at the SAG-AFTRA’s headquarters in the Miracle Mile neighborhood of Los Angeles.

“SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP met for a full day bargaining session and have concluded. Negotiations will resume Wednesday, Oct. 4,” a spokesperson for the guild said.

Ahead of the meeting, which was attended by top Hollywood CEOs including Bob Iger, Donna Langley, David Zaslav and Ted Sarandos — the union asked its members to continue pickets across town.


“Today, we go back to the bargaining table to fight for the contract you deserve. As we negotiate, we ask that you not let up. Keep turning out in full force on our picket lines and at solidarity events around the country. Let the AMPTP hear your voices loud and clear. It makes a difference,” the union wrote on its social media channels.

As Variety reported on Sunday, last week’s resolution to the painful (and concurrent) Writers Guild of America strike raised spirits that a deal with the actors will follow soon after. SAG-AFTRA’s priorities include improved payment terms for vulnerable members like extras, background actors and day players. The union will also seek to regulate generative artificial intelligence and the reuse of actor likenesses using cutting-edge rendering technologies, as well as shop for a boost in streaming residuals.

These two buddies seem not to be paying attention much to the game...

(and Ryan is not minding Blake)




most likely already discussing the resumption of filming.

*Is he briefing Hugh on the results of the first edit ( of previousely filmed scenes before the strikes)?

*Is he sharing changes to the script with the return of the writers?

*Is he sharing how he is going to break the 4th wall?

*Is he sharing any new plans from Kevin Feige re the movie and how the Fox mutants will have roles in the movie?

*Is he outlining early plans on the promo campaign for the movie?

Or he is just trying to give some personal advice to Hugh, given the recent distressful days for his friend ?
(I wonder if Hugh did that for him when Ryan broke up with his first wife, Scarlett Johansson, also a friend of Hugh?)
