High School Musical 4
"High School Musical 3: Senior Year" is scheduled to hit theaters in the fall, but Disney Channel is already starting work on "High School Musical 4." Rich Ross, Disney Channel Worldwide president, says: "We are writing 'High School Musical 4.' It's likely to be a TV movie unlike 'High School Musical 3: Senior Year,' though that could change. Are we going to have all the cast back? Probably not. Will we have some of them? I hope so." Filming begins in two weeks in Utah.

Earth vs. Moon
Universal will produce the film, with a script by Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese. Very few plot details are known, but it is described as "a space-set epic."
NBC is skittish about the possibility of another industry strike. NBC Universal chief Jeff Zucker said: "Our film business has prepared. But it would have a real impact on the TV business, and I don't think the economy or the TV business would be able to survive something like that." He may have a chance to heave a sigh then. As the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the group that negotiates labor contracts with the movie studios and television networks, has announced that they expect to sign a contract with the Screen Actors Guild that will essentially be modeled after those already negotiated with the writers' and directors' unions. In a statement they said: "If our industry relies on this new framework, we can all avoid more harmful and unnecessary strikes." But, then again, SAG leaders have criticized the previously contracts for its provisions on DVD residuals and payments for work shown on the Internet. The guild has been so adamant in its stand that studios are refusing to start production on any film unless it will be completed by the end of June when the SAG contract expires. Maybe Zucker better hold his breath, after all.
