The highly anticipated films in Hollywood, such as “Gladiator 2” and the eighth installment of “Mission Impossible,” as well as popular streaming shows like “Outer Banks” and “Stranger Things,” have come to a halt. This occurred after the Screen Actors Guild, which protects Hollywood’s top A-listers, joined the striking Writers Guild in their battle against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. These organizations represent studios and streamers. Swordplay for “Gladiator 2” in Malta and the production plans for the next “Mission Impossible” film have been delayed. Production on Marvel’s “Deadpool” also stopped. Clint Eastwood’s latest film, “Juror #2,” which is rumored to be his last, has ceased production in Savannah, GA. Universal’s adaptation of the Broadway musical “Wicked” and the film “Twisters,” an update to “Twister,” have also gone dark. On the small screen, “Outer Banks” and other Netflix shows like “Big Mouth,” “Cobra Kai,” and “Stranger Things” are on hold. Late-night TV hosts including Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel have also stopped production. Over 160,000 Hollywood workers represented by SAG-AFTRA have joined the writers strike. The unions are demanding better contracts to protect workers from changes caused by streaming and emerging technology. The studios are prepared for a long fight and believe that by October, most writers will run out of money and be eager to return to work. HBO’s “House of the Dragon” will not be affected by the strike because the majority of its cast is composed of UK actors who are covered by a different union. Some films like “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” have already been completed and are set to be released soon. This strike is the largest since the last WGA strike 15 years ago and has caused a significant shutdown in the industry.
