Why is The Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers so happy with a SAG strike looming over Hollywood. It’s not the possible estimated $23 million in lost revenue each day that would come from a strike.

No. The AMPTP is almost sure that SAG will not be able to get a vote cleared to authorize a strike. So they’ve given SAG what many thing is a final ‘deal or deal moment.’

Right now SAG is split. After the 100-day WGA strike, nobody is looking forward to prolonging the entertainment recession.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, “the guild will fail to defeat the ratification of the proposed primetime TV contract between producers and AFTRA.”

“As for defeating the proposed AFTRA deal, SAG faces an equally difficult task. The federation has about 70,000 members, about 44,000 of which are dual cardholders. About 26,000, though, are non-SAG members, and it seems unlikely that those with no loyalty to the guild would be inclined to reject a deal that their board of directors has overwhelmingly approved. To defeat the contract, SAG probably needs to persuade 80% of the joint members — a steep arithmetic challenge, to say the least.”

Of course, skipping another Hollywood strike would be good for business overall. Unfortunately, actors will not get the residuals they want from DVD and Internet sales.

About The first season of “The Two Coreys”:
Corey Feldman and Corey Haim were the quintessential teen heartthrobs of the 80’s. The “Two Coreys,” as they instantly became known, starred in a series of films that would define a generation, including The Lost Boys, Dream a Little Dream and License to Drive.

The first season of “The Two Coreys” left Feldman and Haim at loggerheads over their personal and professional relationship. And so, with their brotherhood at stake, the second season premieres Sunday, June 22 at 10:00PM ET/PT with a no-holds-barred fresh look at the two former friends’ damaged relationship. Nothing they say or do is off-limits to the cameras in this new cinema verite take on the 80’s icons. Throughout the series, Feldman and Haim try a variety of tasks to resuscitate their relationship. Along the way, both Coreys will deal with very real issues (including their reunion on Lost Boys 2), go to therapy sessions together, reveal their demons and confront their storied pasts.

The A&E Real-Life series THE TWO COREYS, premieres June 22nd at 10:00PM ET/PT. Visit http://aetv.com/the-two-coreys for more information.
