SAG-aftra has reached a deal with BeeAudio, an audiobook producer for which it issued a "Do Not Work Notice" late last year. Trumpeting the deal as part of its goal to "enhance its organizing reach in the area of audiobook," the union said narrators who work for the company will now be paid industry-standard rates ranging from $150 to $240 per completed hour of work. The deal covers more than 200 audiobook professionals currently on BeeAudio’s roster. "We are thrilled to have an agreement with BeeAudio," Jane Love, SAG-aftra Audiobook negotiator, said in a statement. "It makes sense for the company, the narrators, and the industry and we look forward to working with everyone at BeeAudio going forward." In November of 2012, SAG-aftra issued "Do Not Work Notice" against the Ashland, Ore.-based company that was producing books for various major publishers but paying half or less than half the industry standard rate to narrators.

Last we heard, Black Death's Christopher Smith was attached to adapt the successful teenage spy series starting with "Cherub: The Recruit". How close that project was to getting off the ground has been a bit of a mystery, but since we've just found this legitimate teaser poster for the film (as in definitely not fan made), it makes us think that perhaps the film might be coming sooner than we thought.
Synopsis:
Young James Adams joins Cherub, a top-secret branch of the British Secret Service that recruits orphan children, training them to work as spies.
The book was adapted for the screen by Chicken Run's Mark Burton and then it was given a spruce by Public Enemies scribe Ronan Bennett.
We have no idea when it'll start filming, or if it'll even be Smith's next film but take a gander at the film's first poster after the break.

Robert Redford, James McAvoy, The Conspirator At a Toronto Film Festival press conference for his latest effort, the historical courtroom drama The Conspirator, Robert Redford, 74, denied ever saying: a) “As an actor I wouldn’t like me as a director; as a director I wouldn’t like me as an actor.” b) “All my life I’ve been dogged by guilt because I feel there is this difference between the way I look and the way I feel inside." James Adams reports in Toronto's Globe and Mail that an Italian journalist asked Redford about those two quotes and was twice rebuffed. About quote #1, Redford remarked, "It sounds crazy … it doesn’t make any sense.” “Do you have another IMDb quote?” Tiff press conference host Henri Behar asked the journalist. Apparently, there wasn't. At least not from that particular journalist. Note: Both quotes can indeed be found on the IMDb.

Fox has inked a talent holding deal with Broadway's "Boeing-Boeing" co-star Kathryn Hahn.
Hahn had been on the radar of Fox's head of casting Marcia Shulman since her days at Yale School of Drama, when the actress was a standout at the school's annual showcase for agents and TV executives.
Hahn landed a co-starring role on NBC's "Crossing Jordan" shortly after graduating. For six seasons, she played Lily Lebowski on the crime drama, drawing the attention of Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly, who ran NBC Entertainment for half of the "Jordan" run.
Hahn's deal with Fox marks a rare talent pact as the broadcast networks have been scaling back in the past few years.
"In a time when there is less money for such deals, we're taking really specific shots, and Hahn was one that both Kevin and I wanted to pursue," Shulman said.
