DGA taking wait-and-see approach

Hollywood Reporter: "In a letter to members and an accompanying press release, DGA president Michael Apted and negotiations chair Gil Cates said they will wait until Jan. 1 to see if the WGA re-engages in its own negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers. But barring such a scenario -- which almost no one believes will happen, unless the WGA reverses itself on some key demands -- the DGA will launch talks with the AMPTP on a new pact to replace one set to expire June 30."
