Superheroes go back to work
Comic-book-hero movie company Marvel Studios has reached an interim agreement with the Writers Guild of America, enabling striking Hollywood writers to go back to work on their projects.
For Marvel, it means that work can resume on 'Ant Man', 'Captain America', 'Thor' and 'The Avengers'.
'Hulk' and 'Iron Man' were already in production and were not affected by the strike; they are set for release later this year.
Film and television studio Lionsgate, Hollywood's biggest indie producers, has also reached an interim agreement with the guild.
Upcoming Lionsgate films include 'Rambo', 'The Eye' and 'Saw 5', while its television series include 'Weeds', 'Mad Men' and a new show, 'Fear Itself'.
"The writers' issue seems on its way to being solved, and Lionsgate felt it was an important time, particularly in view of our TV series, to have our writer partners get back to work," Lionsgate said in a statement.
"We look forward to a broad industry agreement soon," said a company representative.
Writers already have reached interim deals with studios including United Artists, the film production house backed by Tom Cruise and The Weinstein Co, run by media-mogul brothers Harvey and Bob Weinstein.
Writers and producers resumed talks this week, aimed at ending a nearly three-month strike that has stopped most prime-time television production and some hope smaller deals will put pressure on the big studios.

Spears' manager is ordered to stay away
Britney Spears' self-styled manager Sam Lutfi has been served with a restraining order, which instructs him to stay at least 250 yards away from the star.
Courts documents say that Lutfi is also barred from communicating with Spears.
Reuters reports that lawyers for the singer's father, Jamie Spears, who has been granted temporary control of his daughter's business and personal affairs, filed court documents saying Lutfi was served with the order at his home on Thursday morning.
In court papers requesting the restraining order three weeks ago, Spears' mother Lynne claimed that Lutfi had drugged her daughter, cut her home phone line and was attempting to control her life.
Lynne Spears said that Lutfi told her and a friend that he gave Britney Spears pills ground up in her food to keep her quiet and at one point he told Britney she had to take 10 pills a day if she wanted to see her two young children.
Spears recently had her visitation rights for her two young sons stripped by a court after refusing to return them to their father Kevin Federline, who currently has custody of the children.

Kylie tells Britney to "reach out" for help
Pop singer Kylie Minogue has advised troubled star Britney Spears to "reach out" for whatever help she needs.
Speaking to The Sun, Australian singer Minogue said: "Who knows what is going on in her life? Britney isn't that young anymore. I think she will still come back but it's like she's taken an extended holiday."
She continued: "Whatever help she needs, she should reach out and get it. I wish someone would write a manual about fame because it's not easy."
The singer also said: "I'm always loath to say that because there are a lot more difficulties out there that people deal with every day - but when fame is handed to you, it is unique."
She added: "It's not to the same extreme, but I can remember having a mini-meltdown myself - and unless you've got good people around to support you, you've got a problem."

Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman has confirmed that she is expecting a baby with her singer husband Keith Urban.
The 40-year-old Australian star has pulled out of filming for her next movie 'The Reader'.
Kidman's publicist, Wendy Day, confirmed the news in a statement, saying: "Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban confirmed today that they are expecting a baby. The couple are thrilled."
Referring to Kidman's decision to pull out of her next movie, her publicist said: "I understand she's had to withdraw from the film and therefore she's had to give them the reason, and therefore she's now able to confirm that she's pregnant."
"I don't know how far pregnant she is, or when the baby's due. She just simply rang me and said, 'Wendy I always told you I would tell you first, and I'd confirm it and you could make the appropriate announcement'."
