Overview

• The Writers Guild of America West has officially prohibited its members from working on 'Wall of White,' citing Randall Emmett's strike/unfair list status since 2020.
• The film, co-produced by Martin Scorsese, aims to dramatize the 1982 Alpine Meadows avalanche but faces union restrictions due to labor compliance issues.
• Convergence Entertainment Group, the film's production and financing company, is not a signatory to the WGA's contract, further barring guild members from involvement.
• The project has been in development for over a year, with no director attached and production anticipated later this year, though its future remains uncertain.
• Emmett has faced longstanding allegations of unpaid writer compensation and workplace misconduct, complicating his collaboration with Scorsese on this high-profile adaptation.
