SHARE THIS PAGE. Last week Billy Ray frightened everyone with the disruptive potential of AI by interviewing the technology and having it respond in the familiar voices of some of

Hollywood’s biggest stars. In his Week 14 outing, Ray pivots. On a day when the WGA and AMPTP plan to return to the bargaining table just short of the 100 days it took to settle the last

strike, Ray explores ways that both sides can find common ground in a future that nurtures an ecosystem that will perpetuate and reward creative growth, leading to a renaissance that will be

profitable for all. He’s got a killer panel to parse the issue, three guests who have had outsized success in their domains: _The Matrix _series co-director Lilly Wachowski, _The Last of Us

_and _Chernobyl’_s Craig Mazin, and Blumhouse principal Jason Blum, whose trajectory came from an inventive formula that involves transparency, and artists who bet on themselves and share

mightily in success. It’s an electric exchange of ideas to heal the rifts between artists and commerce-minded studios, one that might have then rowing in the same directing, toward better

and more imaginative film and TV. Listen here: WATCH ON DEADLINE 18 Comments JavaScript is required to load the comments. MARKETPLACE SITE ad
