Nearly 1 year on, and the WGGB Blog announced that the draft guildelines were ready to read.
From the Writers Guild website:
"The Guidelines set out in straightforward language the functions, obligations and rights of all involved in getting a script from idea through to feature film.
After the first section on good working practice, the second part outlines the various contracts in use and the meaning of all those mystifying legal terms."
It all seems sensible to me - I particularly like the idea of a Joint Venture project. I wonder how the Guidelines will be received by producers and directors? There was "industry wide" input, so let's hope it's good.
