WGA Strike - Days 61, 62 - United Artists Edition!

According to the ever-reportorial Nikke Finke (see the Deadline Hollywood url to the right), Tom Cruise and United Artists are going to break from the AMPTP tomorrow (Sunday) and sign on to the WGA's contractual proposals. It's still a rumor at this point and we've seen a lot of rumors fizzle to nothing, but if true, it is a significant development. UA isn't the biggest studio player out there, but it's an honest-to Gosh AMPTP studio and this will give them a leg up on their competitors. Basically, they can get back to producing films. Which is kinda all anybody wants at this point...

More if/when the news is actually confirmed...
