Directors, ‘Rambo’ Maker Settle

Directors announced an independent settlement today with the maker of the “Rambo” movies, but the agreement didn’t affect the directors’ continuing contract dispute with Hollywood’s major producers.

The Directors Guild of America signed a contract with Carolco Productions, according to union spokesman Chuck Warn. The union has been signing independent contracts with small production companies over the last few months and now has more than 250 such agreements.
