Writers Guild Strike Looms Over 007
Paul Haggis said to be "ploughing through" 'Bond 22' script

Written by Matt Weston on 25 Oct, 2007

The Los Angeles Times carries an excellent report on the effect the potential Writers Guild strike could have upon Hollywood’s upcoming slate. Last week, the guild voted overwhelmingly in favour of a strike if contract negotiations with studios and networks fail.

The report notes that Paul Haggis, who is writing the next James Bond film, is currently “ploughing through” the script, in light of the fact a strike could occur as early as 1 November. With the guild’s contract due to expire on 31 October, the Oscar-winner could potentially have less than a week to turn in the Bond 22’s script.
