Hollywood will grind to a complete halt as actors and writers both walk out - it could last for months
Writers have been treading the pavements with picket signs outside the Netflix building in Hollywood for two months now.
This dual strike, the first for 63 years, means the entertainment industry will grind to a complete halt almost immediately."We didn't want it to come to this," Michele Mulroney, the Writers Guild of America vice president, tells me,"We would rather be practising the craft we love of writing and acting. But unfortunately the studios have been unwilling to seriously consider the existential needs of our two memberships.
The last time a dual strike happened Marilyn Monroe was staring in films. It is a watershed moment for the industry and it heaps pressure on the production studios and streaming giants to try and find a solution. "AI just doesn't belong in Hollywood, especially not in a writer's room," actor Jeante Godlock says."All the TV shows that we watch, that we love, those one liners, they came from humans, and they came from human trauma, honestly. All the pain, the joy. It's what we love to watch."
