Striking Hollywood Writers Heading to Web?
A very interesting piece in the LA Times today talks about the potential for striking Hollywood writers to turn to the web with new venture capital-backed properties.
If the strike ends tomorrow perhaps these stories will die down, but it’s looking more likely that the transition of major players – top tier Hollywood creative talent in this case – to risk and innovate on the web, to figure out the revenue and structural and logistical models that others will follow, is quickening in part because of the writer’s strike.
I think this transition is inevitable. It simply makes sense for people to consume the vast majority of content on the web. It’s just a matter of how and when this transition – already well underway of course – will take place.
We’re waiting for the big columns to a-tumble now – exciting times!
