This is the fifth of the Writers Guild Of America member-conceived Internet videos for Project "Speechless" featuring A-list Screen Actors Guild talent. They are being hosted exclusively by DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com over Thanksgiving Weekend. 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, will be releasing three videos here in the morning, afternoon and evening throughout this weekend. See them all!
(Mac users, the problems with Safari have been fixed.)
[In the interest of fairness and objectivity, I would be pleased to also debut a similar campaign conceived by members of AMPTP. But, as a journalist with a journalism outlet, I couldn't pass up any opportunity to have an exclusive.]
maybe if this had been a DGA video, their heads wouldn’t have been cut off.

Not as funny when you can’t see the braces.

Out of the nine “Speechless” videos that’ve been posted so far, I’d single out this video as being the best.
The assembled cast members convey a very literal, very real picture of unity, resolve, and support.
And the ticking clock? If I were associated with the AMPTP, the ticking sound would make me break out in a sweat.
Cheers and high fives to everyone involved, for helping to create such an effective statement.

Very cool. Your site is the first one I’ve seen that’s posted these videos. I love seeing the overpaid actors stick their necks out for the writers. It’s about time!
