This is the 27st 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.





What are these supposed to achieve? Seems like a way for people to get to make short films with movie stars.
Why not channel that energy into getting the big A list stars to agree not to cross a WGA picket line and then start picketing the locations where they film? Wouldn’t that achieve much more than a bunch of short films that nobody watches or cares about? I know I quit after the first or second one.
Jay Leno? So now he’s a hyphenate, scab/hypocrite. He’s the first late night host to cross and now this. Is this guy missing the common sense gene?
at least Conan, et all aren’t such jerks they rub it in our faces by doing speechless.
Are there any other scabs in this? Scanning the list I just found the one. Oh, and I understand the WGA is so non-critical they’re planning to name a “Scab of the Month” among the late night hosts. For January it’s Jon Stewart.
You might want to consider removing Jay Leno from this montage.
Apparently after January 2, he won’t be so speechless.
Jeez. This strike has lasted so long we’re already into reruns of Speechless. What’s next? A settlement?
