IMDB Pressured To Help Actors Lie On Their Resume

Hollywood has launched a new missle in its ongoing battle to control the internet. Now it’s the Writer’s Guild of America’s turn. Their strategy? Banning facts.

According to Cinema Blend.com, The Wrap says the Guild is, in effect, trying to blackmail IMDB into removing the ages of actors who want to pretend they’re ten years younger than they are.

Other guilds, like the Screen Actors Guild, have also reached out to IMDB in an effort to convince them to remove birthdates from the pages of actors who don’t want them listed. But the Writer’s Guild has a wedge they can use to force IMDB into erasing the truth. They have a contract with the movie database to provide credits information. The veiled implication in The Wrap’s article is that they might stop providing them if IMDB doesn’t do what they want.
