The Timesonline.co.uk are reporting that that Bionic Woman scriptwriter Laeta Kalogrindis is the heroine responsible for creating a truce between the waring writers and studios:
The bones of the settlement will not be exposed until the next crop of Hollywood memoirs, but insiders are crediting a 42-year-old scriptwriter called Laeta Kalagridis as the woman who banged heads together.
Her scripts might not have been bonanzas – she wrote Oliver Stone’s horribly miscast Alexander and the gloomy remake of Bionic Woman – but, running her own strike website, she and her agent became a conduit between the union’s tough-guy negotiator David Young and the equally hard-boiled studio pointman, Peter Chernin, chairman of the Fox studios and television interests.
If this is true then good on her – let’s hope her future scripts can save Bionic Woman!
