Movie Studio Strikes Deal With WGA

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― RKO Pictures has signed an interim deal with the striking Writers Guild of America.

Details were not released, but the guild says the agreement announced Friday includes fair and respectful compensation for writers for work used on the Internet and other new media.

The agreement follows separate guild pacts reached with other
independent production companies, including Lionsgate, Marvel and
The Weinstein Co.

RKO's production schedule includes several new films. Its extensive library features "King Kong," "Citizen Kane" and  "It's a Wonderful Life."

The writers guild, on strike since Nov. 5, is in informal talks with studio bosses to reach a contract agreement and end the costly 11-week walkout that has idled much of the entertainment industry.
