Park Chan Wook denies violating WGA guidelines for The Sympathizer after getting expelled from the Guild
Park Chan Wook is easily one of the most respected Korean directors across the world. Thanks to his work in Oldboy, Joint Security Area, Lady Vengeance, The Handmaiden, Decision to Leave, and more, he has become one of the faces of Korean filmmaking. So when the news hit the screens this week that he was removed from the Writers Guild of America (WGA), shock spread across the industry. Now, the director's side has denied claims of scriptwriting during the 2023 strike, which called for a complete stoppage of their work, but has not appealed the committee's decision to bar him from the union. Park Chan Wook removed from WGA: Violation dispute continues Alongside the South Korean, co-executive producer and co-writer Don McKellar was also booted from the association, citing breaking of WGA rules for their HBO mini-series. According to a statement shared by Allkpop, a representative from Moho Film said, 'All scripts for The Sympathizer were completed and filming had begun well before the WGA strike commenced on May 2, 2023. Editing is not considered writing under WGA rules, so it was a permitted activity. During the editing process, HBO proposed changes to certain settings.' Offering further clarity on the work that went on behind the scenes, they shared, 'The two (Park Chan Wook and Don McKellar) held idea meetings to determine whether those changes could be implemented using existing footage'. They claimed that creative changes and possible alternatives were explored by the two, keeping in mind the ongoing strike at the time and what it entailed. It was emphasized that 'they did not write or revise any scripts until after the strike ended.' It has been revealed by Adam Levin in a comment to Variety, nothing really changes for the superstar's career except probably having to pay a heftier retainer. He can still continue to write and direct films and projects in the West, without fearing a boycott from any involved companies or associates. The director has vehemently denied writing, so it remains to be seen what comes of this investigation. George Clooney, Sylvester Stallone and George Lucas are some of the many who have previously left the union themselves.

'Dexter: Resurrection' serial killers: See Neil Patrick Harris as 'Tattoo Collector'
'Dexter: Resurrection' serial killers: See Neil Patrick Harris as 'Tattoo Collector' Krysten Ritter, Eric Stonestreet, and David Dastmalchian are killers in 'Dexter' revival series 'Resurrection' Reborn vigilante Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) faces off against a Murderer's Row of serial killers in "Dexter: Resurrection." The "Dexter" revival series (first two episodes streaming on Paramount+ July 11) features beloved Hollywood stars earning sinister tabloid monikers, including "Doogie Howser, M.D." star Neil Patrick Harris (as "The Tattoo Collector") and "Modern Family" star Eric Stonestreet (as "Rapunzel"). "Jessica Jones" star Krysten Ritter puts the chill into "Lady Vengeance," and David Dastmalchian ("The Suicide Squad") does double evil duty as "The Gemini Killer." The serial killers are summoned to New York for a MurderCon-style meetup with Charley (Uma Thurman), the head of security for mysterious billionaire Leon Prater (Peter Dinklage). "They don't all live in New York City, but let's say they've been invited there; it's a gathering," says "Dexter" creator and executive producer Clyde Phillips, who stocks "Resurrection" with new uber-villains. "This season is a unique launching pad for however many years this series will be going." Here's the new legion of "Dexter" doom: 'Dexter: Resurrection' miracle! Michael C. Hall returns from TV dead in Showtime series Neil Patrick Harris is Lowell, aka 'The Tattoo Collector': The successful anesthesiologist targets victims with tattoos to add to his grisly collection. Krysten Ritter is Mia, aka 'Lady Vengeance': A serial killer by night, sommelier by day, "Lady Vengeance" is vivacious and lives her life to the fullest, whether it's in her day job or her life on the hunt. Eric Stonestreet is Al, aka 'Rapunzel': Jolly and cordial, a Midwestern father of two, Al is the last person you'd ever expect to be a serial killer. But his bizarre need to strangle ponytailed women has left a trail of bodies that has terrified the country. David Dastmalchian is Gareth, aka 'The Gemini Killer': A brilliant mind with a devious need to kill people in pairs. He's been killing for years, leaving the FBI with zero clue of his true identity. But he's built such a name for himself that books, movies and podcasts detail his terrifying exploits. Wait, so 'Dexter' is alive again? Dexter survived what was clearly meant to be a permanent shotgun death, depicted in the January 2022 finale of "Dexter New Blood." In the 2024-25 "Dexter: Original Sin" prequel, which Hall's Dexter narrates, the barely alive serial killer is shown being rushed by ambulance to an upstate New York hospital. In "Resurrection," Dexter slips off to New York City as soon as his recovery allows, looking for his son, Harrison (Jack Alcott), who also happens to be the guy who shot his dad upstate. Now that Hall has been reborn as Dexter for "Resurrection," Phillips plans to keep the franchise star alive as long as series renewals allow. That means the villains who come across Dexter in "Resurrection" won't fall to his signature Saran Wrap death right away. "One of these characters will end up being what we call 'The Big Baddie,' and they will be taken care of this season," says Phillips. The rest will have to wait their turn for a lethal faceoff, which could take "however many years we're going to be on. And really, that's up to Michael." How to watch the new 'Dexter: Resurrection'? The first two episodes stream on demand for Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers on July 11, before airing on Paramount+ with Showtime on July 13 (8 EDT/PDT), then weekly on Sundays.
