For an employment-based digital replica, actors will be paid the equivalent to the payment if they did the work themselves.

They’ll find loopholes.

I'm looking at the AI stuff like "....how can they enforce this..." they shouldn't HAVE to be worried about this >:(

I just feel incredibly creeped out by it. Like, how must that feel to them? 🙁

„Either you sign this or we will be looking at someone else“. Reminds me of those rental laws that you throw out of the window when you are really desperate to find a new flat

I especially love those last 2 bullet points. It's long overdue.

Obviously a lot of work to do still, but definitely an improvement!

I honestly imagine that looking like garbage, why not just bring the person in. Not blaming SAG but how they had to fight for this that kind of doesn't make sense at first glance. Dan Murrell, we need your help!

It looks like garbage now, but give it five years. This, unfortunately, is where it’s going

which is wild because it looked like shit and they should have just used the actor who looked exactly like a young Hamill instead.

Sets must have proper hair & makeup services for all performers, including those with diverse & textured hair & complexions.

My concern about this one is that they will either try not to hire POC actors so they can avoid paying for a second makeup/hair person or they will create some half assed certification/approval process that lets makeup & hair people say that they are ~qualified but doesn't actually mean squat (in other words, they will keep hiring white hair/makeup people who don't know how to deal with POC but the onus is no longer on the studio because they hired someone who claimed they were capable of doing it).
