LOS ANGELES -- Negotiations between Hollywood screenwriters and producers and studio heads ended this morning without a new deal but with promises to resume talks, temporarily averting a strike that would halt TV and movie production.
The 17-hour bargaining session concluded about three hours after the writers' contract expired at 12:01 a.m. The contract was not extended, and both sides were expected back at the bargaining table today.
Writers Guild of America spokesman Cheryl Rhoden would not characterize the state of the negotiations. Both sides have imposed a news blackout.
