Latest news roundup on the writer's strike

A deal with the Director's Guild of America (DGA) could be imminent, according to rumors on the Writer's Guild blog, United Hollywood, which is saying the deal could be announced Tuesday. A DGA agreement could break the logjam of the writer's strike, though the writers aren't bound by any DGA agreement, the blogs says. The Writer's Guild says also that they won't get less than what the DGA gets. But the strike continues.
Also, in other developments, small independent studio Media Rights Capitol (MRC) has struck a deal with the Writer's Guild. The terms of the agreement are similar to the Guild's recent deals with Worldwide Pants and United Artists.
