WGA bans writers from Tahoe film

Low-budget action movie producer Randall Emmett recently unveiled a high-profile collaboration with Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese to bring the story of a deadly 1982 avalanche near Lake Tahoe to the big screen.

But the Writers Guild of America West issued an advisory forbidding its members from working on the film, “Wall of White.”

The guild cited Emmett’s failure to pay writers for work on past projects. Since 2020, Emmett has been on the guild’s “strike list.”

Emmett says he intends to contact the WGA and ‘settle the matter.’
