Hollywood could be back to work Monday.
The Writer's Guild of America and studios are finishing up details on a deal that could bring an end to the walkout.
This walkout has been costly for TV programs as well as Film.
Movies that felt the full force of the writer's strike include high-profile projects such as Columbia Pictures' "Da Vinci Code" prequel "Angels & Demons" and Warner Bros.' "Shantaram," starring Johnny Depp.
However the film industry to precautions against the strike. Last summer studio executives sped up development and production schedules. Therefore, the movie industry was not as hard hit by the Nov. 5 work stoppage as broadcast TV.
Studio executives and TV producers hope to salvage the rest of the television season by accelerating production to bring back some popular TV shows that have been airing repeats or were taken off the air.
