The actors union decried their opponents' “bullying tactics” and said they were wildly mischaracterizing their offers.
Talks bitterly broke off between Hollywood actors and studios late Wednesday, killing any hopes that the three-month strike by performers would come to an end anytime soon.
When negotiations resumed with writers last month, their strike ended five days later, but similar progress was not made with the actors union."It is clear that the gap between the AMPTP and SAG-AFTRA is too great, and conversations are no longer moving us in a productive direction," the AMPTP said in a statement.
Actors have been on strike over issues including increases in pay for streaming programming and control of the use of their images generated by artificial intelligence. From the start, the actors' talks had nothing like the momentum that spurred marathon night-and-weekend sessions in the writers' strike and brought that work stoppage to an end. Actors and studios had taken several days off after resuming, and there were no reports of meaningful progress despite direct involvement from the heads of studios including Disney and Netflix as there had been in the writers strike.
