As someone who has spent decades navigating the tumultuous waters of Hollywood, I must say this latest development with Village Roadshow is a stark reminder that even the most respected names can find themselves in troubled waters. The Writers Guild’s decision to blacklist them speaks volumes about their current financial situation and their lack of respect for the hardworking writers they employ.
According to EbMaster’s confirmation, the Writers Guild of America has imposed a ban on Village Roadshow, preventing its affiliated writers from collaborating with the company, due to their unwillingness to settle payment disputes with several writers.
The Guild found out that for several months now, Village Roadshow has failed to pay writers on multiple projects, according to a statement sent to WGA members over the weekend. The company is withholding payment for compensation, interest, and benefit contributions, yet they continue to refuse to pay. Due to this, the Guild considers Village Roadshow as unreliable and financially irresponsible, necessitating a bond to safeguard writers’ interests. So far, Village Roadshow has declined to post such a bond. Consequently, Village Roadshow is now on the WGA’s strike list until further notice.
The statement suggests that members should consult a lawyer if they believe Village Roadshow has an outstanding debt towards them, or if they’ve been contacted by the company in the past few days (or if they’re currently working for the company at present).
As a dedicated movie lover, I firmly believe it’s essential to safeguard the quality and fairness of the work provided by screenwriters. It should never be acceptable for Village Roadshow to undermine writers’ standards or conditions in their projects. It’s unfair if Village Roadshow gains advantage from writing services contributed by WGA members.
A week ago, EbMaster shared news about Village Roadshow facing financial difficulties, which led to a less favorable relationship with the Writers Guild of America (WGA). In simpler terms, this report stated that Village Roadshow is experiencing financial problems and these issues have affected their standing with the WGA.
In 2018, Village Roadshow experienced a fresh beginning as seasoned industry professional Steve Mosko took over the company’s reins. This leadership shift was accompanied by an investment of cash from primary shareholder Vine Alternative Investments. However, after the combined WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in 2023 caused widespread industry contractions, it appears that Village Roadshow is facing challenges yet again.
