From Variety today

"Contract talks between studios and actors unions have broken off with no date set for resumption.
A joint statement issued Sunday evening gave no further details about the negotiations, which had gone on for five days after resuming Wednesday following a three-week break.
"The parties have concluded they cannot reach an agreement at this time," the statement said. "There are no scheduled dates for the resumption of talks."
The current contract for SAGSAG and AFTRAAFTRA with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers doesn't expire until June 30, so there remains nearly six months in which to make a deal without a work stoppage. But the decision to walk away from the table is likely to generate a flurry of production activity in order to stockpile against a possible strike."

What does that mean for you - it means at the beginning of next year a whole lot of hastily thrown together films with not-even-close-to-production-ready scripts wedded to casts that are there only for the money. This is not a good breeding ground for quality movies.
