The Writers Guild of America West has prohibited its members from participating in the forthcoming catastrophe film “Wall of White,” which is being developed by producers Randall Emmett and Martin Scorsese.
Emmett has repeatedly clashed with the Writers Guild of America (WGA), and since 2020, he’s been listed as a participant in their strike or unfair practices. Additionally, his company, Convergence Entertainment Group, hasn’t signed the WGA’s Minimum Basic Agreement, which protects screenwriters’ work.
According to the Writers Guild of America, “Emmett has repeatedly failed to meet his commitments towards writers, and the Guild has submitted multiple arbitration cases against Emmett’s businesses over the past ten years.
It’s not certain how deeply Scorsese is involved with “The Wall of White.” According to reports, the movie centers around the tragic 1982 avalanche that claimed seven lives at the Alpine Meadows ski resort, which is located near Lake Tahoe in northern California.
As a devoted fan, I’m sharing some news that’s been making waves in the writing community. It appears that, according to the Writers Guild of America (WGA), Emmett allegedly neglected to pay over $700,000 in pension and health contributions, along with accrued interest, to four writers who contributed to the TV series “Pump,” which premiered on Urbanflix.com in 2020. The WGA states that a court order has been issued, mandating Emmett’s firm to make these payments.
The WGA’s announcement additionally points out issues that surfaced on projects handled by another Emmett company, Fifty Feet, which ended up on the Strike/Unfair List in August 2024 due to allegations that Emmett failed to provide a security bond as required by WGA regulations.
The Guild requested a security deposit from Fifty Feet, as they found it financially unstable and unable to fulfill its MBA commitments related to multiple film projects such as ‘Cash Out,’ ‘Alarum,’ and ‘Epiphany.’ The WGA added that Emmett was the producer for all three films and directed ‘Cash Out’ under the name ‘Ives.’
Members are encouraged to reach out to the guild’s legal team if they’ve encountered Emmett or Convergence regarding any writing task.
Representatives for Emmett and Scorsese did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
