Double strike in Hollywood - actors join writers on the picket line - writer's & actor's strikes end
- Thread starter calodo2003
- Start date
It's gonna be weird with the lack of new films and shows next year if they don't solve this quickly.
Black mirror must have spooked a few people.

When are all the protesters going to realise there is no justice in the world? Get in line.
bring back police brutality.
Mine was a sarcastic post
Saw a Tiktok post from an actress, Kimiko Glenn, who was in Orange is the New Black. Not one of the major stars in it but was still in 45 episodes of the show. She showed her residuals for being in the show. She made $27 for the year.

Writers and actors are getting ridden raw by the big streaming companies.

Great, we don't have to watch the shit Hollywood output for a while.
Classic edgelord Colin.
they are making new stuff? Feels like it's all been remakes and comic book adaptations for the last decade.I would've never guessed it was that low. Do we know the values for the top stars?

Feck that.
Dirty scab.
I'm glad Succession was completed before it could be impacted.
Such a scumbag. This is why I personally hate Western CEOs, who have a hell lot to learn from Japanese CEOs on how to maintain proximity and respect with their own employees.
Good, better give back the reins of creativity to the right people with proper pay. Besides, I have a big bunch of anime series I need to catch up with anyway.
She must have made a lot more signing a contract to begin with but the re-runs probably make naff all, nothing like how Friends did
You thought that was bad, this is worse.

Hollywood Studios’ WGA Strike Endgame Is To Let Writers Go Broke Before Resuming Talks In Fall
https://deadline.com/2023/07/writers-strike-hollywood-studios-deal-fight-wga-actors-1235434335/
This actually happened in Bojack Horseman
I'm sure they're trying to switch writers to chat GPT. And when actors are switched to AI... This'll be it. Algorithm films only.
The issue is it's a race to match excessive pay elsewhere which obviously ends up being a raw deal for the consumer.
Are residual payments the royalties she gets for re-runs on the show on streaming services etc.?
That's actually not far from the truth.

It's obviously bad overall. But being selfish, I've got mixed feelings about this. Have about 5 series I need to catch up on. It'll be a lot easier without new episodes of other shows coming out every week. Part of me is looking forward to that.
Clay gonna turn up on his bike and feck shit up.

"Ride into this world ...."
Agreed. I don't know why anyone would look to film for good entertainment anymore. TV has been better for a while. Hollywood movies are usually too bloated and uncreative to be exciting but tv seems able to take risks.I for one will definitely miss all the reboots and sequels
TV admittedly will suffer.
The streaming companies are useless. They've never made money, much of their output is atrocious and they cancel most of the good stuff they accidentally make. If bigger demands put them out of business, I'm OK with that.
Fox: "We're the champion of the people against the corrupt establishment
Fox whenever anyone strikes: "Stop whining and get back to work!"
When each and every single one of those Faux News assholes will be begging for a job in the future, please remind me that they should get spat in the face.
Such vile creatures.
So what happens to everyone else on a movie/film set who aren't directors/actors who get paid thousands to millions? People like technicians, engineers, runners, make up etc etc. Do they have to stop working too? Who pays them?
Don't think there's a union for crews and they're usually on freelance basis so they probs don't get paid anything. I might be wrong but I think that's how it works.
I think obvious solution to this is to make more and more superhero movies, we don't have enough of them in these last few years. The world can continue to help out Hollywood actors and writers by continuing to watch just these kind of CGI movies exclusively and ignore everything else that comes out in cinema, because they are obviously great movies that require great actors and writers.
Also it would be great if we can have more popstars, MMA stars, F1 drivers, acting in these movies instead of actual actors.
Have I missed the point entirely, or am I right?

There are unions for different types of crews, but no clue how the members are taken care of, if at all.
Friend of mine's son has been out of work since the writers began their strike. He is (was?) union, he worked on set on lighting & sound, did work on Ozark, Stranger Things, The Staircase, & others.
The film industry in Georgia is substantial, many workers will feel the effects here if they haven't already...
