CNBC EXCLUSIVE: Hollywood heavyweight, Michael Eisner appearing on CNBC's Fast Money says "WGA strike over". Mr. Eisner tempered his good news with a caveat that it is possible, but not likely that the members could turn the deal down, but that he does not expect that to occur as it would be in the best interest of all parties to agree on paper with the terms of the "handshake" deal. This means that as soon as Monday February 11, 2008, writers would return to banging out scripts. Fingers crossed that the deal does indeed go through.
Thank you to nip/tuckforum moderator Sunny for the heads-up on Mr.Eisner's announcement.
