> The studios can't be the studios with second-rate talent Combine: 1. There is always a pipeline of new talent, 2. Businesses do not invest without a return. So either the studios are going to lock in a return, or the studios are going to go away and the entertainment industry is going to fragment into a million pieces. As much as I'd like to see the second case, my guess is that there are enough starving actors that they will sign up for long-term owned-output contracts.
