East and West, accusing the guilds of engaging in an “unlawful group boycott” against UTA and other talent agencies in the guild’s 11-week-old campaign to realign the agencies’ interests with those of writers. The suit, filed in U.S.
“On April 13, 2019, WGA radically upended over 40 years of settled, mutually-beneficial business relationships between Hollywood writers and the talent agencies that represent them,” today’s suit reads.
“In addition, in late 2018, UTA entered into an affiliation with Media Rights Capital , a production company, to increase competition with traditional studios and provide additional opportunities for UTA’s clients and other artists. The recent UTA-MRC affiliation, known as Civil Center Media, has consistently offered writers, directors, actors and others more favorable terms than those traditionally offered by Hollywood studios.
“Packaging arrangements are individually negotiated and vary significantly from package to package, as does the packaging fee. However, a packaging fee generally includes an upfront license fee and a backend fee paying the agency a percentage of certain profits earned by the show. Packages have sometimes also included a deferred license fee, but such fees are increasingly rare and almost never result in any payment even when agreed to by the talent agency and production company.
