The Impact of Hollywood Strikes: From Residuals to Revolting Workers
The American screen actors' strike, which began over the weekend, has caused frustration among film and TV drama fans worldwide. Negotiations between actors and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers collapsed, leading to a fight over streaming services pushing down pay and using artificial intelligence in production. Celebrities like George Clooney, Margot Robbie, and Brian Cox have joined the campaign, bringing the Hollywood dispute to the forefront of international news. Productions involving American talent have stalled in many countries, and festivals and fan events are also threatened. The strike is the largest in over 60 years, with both writers and actors demanding fair residuals from streaming services. The impact of the strike is expected to be significant, affecting the entertainment industry and causing financial hardship for many in the film industry.
