This is the 16th of the Writers Guild Of America member-conceived Internet videos for Project "Speechless" featuring A-list Screen Actors Guild talent. For the first time in the TV and movie industry, high-profile SAG actors are together taking their talents directly and exclusively to the Internet, the very medium which is at the center of the current WGA labor strike against the Alliance Of Motion Picture & Television Producers. The project, conceived by director/writer George Hickenlooper and writer Alan Sereboff, made its exclusive weekend debut here on my Deadline Hollywood Daily with 11 videos. The "Speechless" campaign now debuts on its new site, SpeechlessWithoutWriters.com, which will be adding new videos every day in both high-res and low-res versions.
Love Ptricia Clarkson. More proof that she’s a great actress.

This was great. May not help our cause though, it proves that great actors can make anything sound good! I was especially excited by the “all makes and models - one year free.” Riveting.

I love the Speechless series… But Amy Ryan, “A-list”?

at first I thought how brave of Hickenlooper to attack the studios, then a quick IMDB check showed they had never hired him anyway.

I gave up on this campaign but I’m a fan of Amy Ryan. This one was funny but should have only been 30 seconds.
(And no, Ryan isn’t A-List but she should be an Academy Award Nominee after this year.)
