Bionic Woman Volume 1 DVD: March 18th 2008

TVShowsonDVD.com recently reported the landing of Bionic Woman Volume 1 on DVD. Yes folks, that’s the Michelle Ryan version – which hits stores from March 18 2008.

Hold on, let’s think about this – ‘Volume 1′. Which would suggest that there will be a ‘Volume 2′at some point – more evidence that the show will return after the WGA strike? If there is to be a follow-up DVD, then it will mostly likely be the remaining 5 season 1 episodes which NBC have yet to shoot. Or perhaps it will be a completely re-tooled remake of the, erm, remake? I hope for the latter, although I would like to see much of the current cast keeping their (re-tooled) roles.

Anyway, back to the Volume 1 DVD: It will cost you $29.98 SRP for a 2-disc set,which will feature Pilot commentary from creator David Eick, ‘the making of the car crash’, Stunts, Profiles, and of course the 8 aired episodes, with a few other treats chucked in for good measure.

For what it’s worth, NBC, I LOVE the artwork on the DVD!

Thanks to David M for the heads-up!

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Hollywood’s striking writers have made a key breakthrough in contract talks with film and television producers, leading to what could be a deal between the two parties by the end of next week, The New York Times reported on Saturday

Negotiators in the bitter labour dispute reached an understanding late on Friday on how to deal with payments writers would receive when their work was streamed over the Internet, the newspaper reported, citing unnamed sources.

The report is the second sign of progress in one week in the screenwriters’ strike that began on November 5 and has crippled Hollywood with TV production shutdowns and layoffs. It also has threatened to dim the lights on the Oscars on February 24.

Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Times said progress had been made in the round of “informal talks” that began on January 23.

A spokesman for the Writers Guild of America, which has some 10,500 striking members, was not immediately available to comment. An official for the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, or AMPTP, which represents film and TV studios, declined comment, citing their media blackout.

The informal talks began as a way to set out a framework for more formal talks at a later date. The New York Times said formalizing the talks may not be necessary as the parties could reach a deal and go straight to their governing boards.

Any contract agreement would require ratification by the union’s rank-and-file members.

Screenwriters walked off the job four days after their old contract expired in a dispute that hinges on how much writers should earn for work distributed over the Internet.

The key provision settled on Friday, according to the New York Times, was what to do about streaming content. The paper said the AMPTP members wanted to pay a flat fee of $1,200 (600 pounds) for one year of streaming, as in the directors’ contract.

Writers wanted 1.2 percent of the distributor’s total streaming revenue. How that issue was resolved was not exactly clear, said the newspaper.
