Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:53:24 GMT

As Hollywood-based writers and actors continue to picket studios, related TV and film production in Colorado has ground to a standstill. And unless you’re a movie star living in Aspen, you likely have zero leverage to change it, according to Colorado’s top film leader.But it’s not all bad news. The strike could lead to an uptick in the state’s already robust reality-TV scene, which includes fixer-upper shows such as HGTV’s “Rock the Block” and “Rico the Rescue,” and the Netflix dating series “Love is Blind.” Those are supported by Colorado’s production rebates, and without actors (represented by the SAG-AFTRA union) or writers (repped by the WGA), there are no picket lines to cross, said Donald Zuckerman, Colorado film commissioner.“We’ve been telling anybody who wants to make something here that has actors to wait and see what happens,” said Zuckerman, also a veteran film producer. “We t...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:53:24 GMT

The Los Angeles County Superior Court has approved changes to its cash bail protocols, officials announced this week.The new pre-arraignment release protocol, which take effect on Oct. 1, will determine release based on an arrestee’s risk to public or victim safety and their likelihood of returning to court. This will reduce reliance on cash bail as a condition of release for people arrested on suspicion of non-violent, non-serious felonies and misdemeanors, according to Presiding Judge Samantha R. Jessner.“A person’s ability to pay a large sum of money should not be the determining factor in deciding whether that person, who is presumed innocent, stays in jail before trial or is released,” Jessner explained in a news release announcing the changes Tuesday. “A low-risk arrestee should not be held in jail simply because they cannot post the necessary funds to be released pending arraignment.”The new bail schedules will replace uniform ones for felonies and misdemeanors before arraign...
