Doug Liman, director of Swingers and The Bourne Identity and an executive producer of The O.C., is the latest Hollywood talent to start a digital production company. Launching with an agreement to use striking writers from the WGA, the company, called Jackson Bites, will create content for the Internet, set-top boxes, mobile phones and other non-traditional methods, according to an emailed press release.

“If the last strike is best remembered for the studios attempting to show they could create programming without writers, this could be the strike where the writers show they can do it without the studios,” Liman said in the release, which stated that he would “not direct or produce any of the content in the new company,” but did not explain why. The company’s investment is from unnamed “new media and business investors.”

So, this one relates to Brad’s post on Unions, my thousands of posts on the Jumper movie (since Doug Liman is directing it) and Mauren’s post on dogs.

How dogs? Jackson Bites is named after Liman’s 11 year-old sheep dog.

One of these things is not like the other. I’m the one who isn’t upright.

That makes me, I guess, downwrong.
