Producers Move Against Guild: The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers has asked a federal court to bar the Screen Actors Guild from taking over representation of Hollywood extras, court papers revealed Wednesday. A suit filed by the AMPTP Tuesday claims that SAG’s proposed takeover of the Screen Extras Guild’s union violates SAG’s agreement with the producers’ association. Although SAG represents both actors and extras nationwide, extras in the Los Angeles area have been represented by SEG since 1945.
