The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has prohibited its members from working on a new film produced by Martin Scorsese and Randall Emmett. The ban is due to Emmett's failure to pay writers for previous projects, with the guild reportedly owed $700,000. The film in question centers on a deadly avalanche that occurred in 1982. Randall Emmett, who is currently managing substantial debt, stated that the movie is fully financed and expressed his intention to resolve the payment dispute with the WGA in the coming weeks.
