Nothing is happening on the sets of Deadpool 3 and Gladiator 2 right now. The reason is the biggest Hollywood crisis in decades. Find out which projects had to be stopped and what’s behind the strike.
Hollywood is at a standstill. More silent than it has been for over 60 years. In the struggle for better working conditions, future prospects and remuneration, members of the actors’ and scriptwriters’ unions are on strike simultaneously. The effects of the double strike are far-reaching. Four Hollywood battleships are running aground.
Also halted were the live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch (Disney) and Apple’s Formula 1 movie, reports The Hollywood Reporter . Whether the films will be able to keep to their planned releases is now more than questionable.
Why the double strike in Hollywood is necessary
Actors:in some cases work at the subsistence level and can no longer earn their living from acting jobs alone. For example, in recent years, TV broadcasting has virtually eliminated royalties for jobs in the series sector.
The fact that major projects like Deadpool 3 and Gladiator 2 are now being hit is painful for fans – and makes sense. With the strike, the unions are exerting pressure. The bigger and more popular the projects that come to a halt, the greater the leverage.
