Creative Artists Agency, one of the largest talent agencies, proposed a new agreement with the Writers Guild of America, hoping to end a yearlong standoff with the union representing many Hollywood screenwriters.
CAA, whose clients include the creators of “Game of Thrones,” sent a proposed package to the union on Monday. However, the guild said the agency has inserted terms it can’t accept. The WGA also said it won’t sign a new deal until their litigation is resolved.
