LOS ANGELES, April 17 (UPI) -- The Screen Actors Guild said Friday it has reached a tentative deal with a group of U.S. film and TV producers after months of stalled contract talks.

SAG and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers issued a joint statement announcing the tentative agreement on successor agreements to the Producer-Screen Actors Guild Codified Basic Agreement.

"Details of the agreement covering television programs and motion pictures will not be disclosed prior to review by the SAG national board of directors this Sunday, April 19, at a previously scheduled board meeting via videoconference in Los Angeles and New York," the parties said in a news release. "Screen Actors Guild will present the tentative agreement to the Screen Actors Guild board of directors for approval and referral to the membership for ratification."

SAG announced in February that its national board of directors had voted 73 percent to 27 percent to reject what AMPTP had described as its "last, best and final offer." The previous SAG-AMPTP pact expired June 30, 2008.
