A memo has been leaked showing what films are getting priority position before the fast-approaching strike hits Tinseltown. ComingSoon.Net got its paws on a list that's circulating the talent agencies in Hollywood right now. Next year, the Writers Guild, Screen Actors Guild and Directors Guild are likely to strike, which means a lot of vacant backlots and a lot more reality television. The list includes directors who are attached to certain projects, although not all of them have signed yet. It's a safe bet that the big production companies are going after these people before they pick up picket signs. A quick view of the list gives a rundown of the likely films you'll be seeing us cover soon.
