Looks like the pencils really were down during the 3-month stoppage. Despite all of the buzz about a post-strike spec boom, Hollywood has been surprisingly quiet on the script front since the strike ended.

Writers who had three months to work unfettered, the thinking went,
would have spent part of that time polishing their old ideas and
starting new ones -- pure spec scripts were allowed under WGA rules
-- and agents would in turn be looking to capitalize on studios'
hunger for post-strike projects.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3ia8852bfeb779d0670c8878caae556932?pn=1"><BR clear="none" />
But a significant number of writers, it turns out, were not working
on specs during the strike. And agents and studio execs who were
expecting a feverish return to work have found that, while meetings
are back in gear, deals and scripts have been thin on the
ground.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3ia8852bfeb779d0670c8878caae556932?pn=1"><DIV>
"I've been shocked by how quiet it's been," said one high-profile
agent, echoing the thought of many who were interviewed. "I knew we
wouldn't see every A-list writer with a script, but I thought
there'd be a lot more than this."</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/640E3F48-7063-4959-BC5A-7EF106727728/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
