WGA in interim deal with United Artists

The WGA has agreed to sign an interim deal with United Artists that would allow feature film writers to go back to work for the studio.

Neither the WGA nor UA confirmed the negotiations Saturday but sources familiar with the agreement said a formal announcement will be made on Monday. The deal won't include MGM, the majority owner of UA.

Specifics of the WGA-UA agreement will be kept under wraps but will likely mirror the terms in the interim pact that guild inked last week with David Letterman's Worldwide Pants.
