HOLLYWOOD ACTORS HAVE announced they are going on strike, joining writers in the first industry-wide shutdown in 63 years after last-ditch talks failed, with nearly all film and television production set to grind to a halt.
“SAG-AFTRA’s national board unanimously voted to issue a strike order against the studios and streamers,” he said. Popular series set to return to television this year will now face lengthy delays. And, if strikes continue, major films would be postponed too. “Compensation has been severely eroded by the rise of the streaming ecosystem. Furthermore, artificial intelligence poses an existential threat to creative professions,” a SAG-AFTRA statement said after the talks fell through.
“AMPTP has played hardball instead of helping to solve entirely solvable problems that endanger writers and actors on the lower ends of the pay scale,” he tweeted.Picket lines While the writers’ strike has already dramatically reduced the number of movies and shows in production, an actors’ walkout would shutter almost everything.Today in New York, actors joined writers on the picket lines ahead of the vote.
