Writers' Co-Op

Thanks to MovieQ for this link about an American Writers' Co-Op that's been organised by John Wells, Nicholas Kazan and Tom Schulman.

"Over the next four years, the Writers Co-Op will generate at least 18 scripts from writers who will risk their usually high upfront salaries for the reward of receiving first-dollar gross, the right to participate as producers and a guarantee they will not be rewritten without their consultation and approval. The scribes will also have a say in the decisionmaking process from development all the way to post-production."

Interesting stuff...
