The Strike by American screenwriters and which has been making headlines around the world for many weeks has been given a new dimension with the addition of the Protest called by American actors by the Sag Aftra Syndicate. All of this has clearly created a huge problem, and we can even say it’s a small one Hollywood earthquake where the US cinema system, and with it the world, was already in deep crisis due to the lack of scripts written by screenwriters. Now the actors have gotten in the way and are therefore ready to revolt to give a voice to what is probably the most important protest in world cinema of all time.
Actors and screenwriters strike: stop films and TV series
At this point we ask ourselves what the consequence of such a total blockade on the part of the scriptwriters, but also the actors, is actually. With some films, some clips and some scenes already shot, you know that the strike literally blocked everything. Let’s talk about movies like Beetlejuice, the Tim Burton-directed sequel starring Michael Keaton, which is not yet finished. The same applies Deadpool 3, Venom 3 and also Mortal Kombat 2 which had to be blocked by a date to be determined.
Also blocked gladiator 2, the famous sequel starring Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal who had closed the scenes in Malta for two thirds but have to pause the rest of the clips for recording. Still exposed are films like judge 2by Clint Eastwood with Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette and Kiefer Sutherland, but also the live action Lilo and Stitch and again the film based on the famous video game Minecraft.
Even at the end of the last episode of the saga there is no news Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoningwhich has arrived in cinemas these days and the second part of which was planned for June 2024, but which will in all likelihood be postponed as already said for the different new avatars of James Cameron.
Between TV series There are very many victims of the writers’ and actors’ strike. What a difficult situation to end with house of the dragonwhich, like last season, could experience significant delays stranger things on Netflix or again The last of us. Disney Original TV series such as The Mandalorian And Andor literally suspended until a date to be determined.
