This summer, the Screen Actors Guild joined the Writers Guild of America on strike, leading to the largest interruption of television and film production (not counting Covid lockdowns) since walkouts hit the industry in 1988 — which, I believe, might be the last time Hollywood hatched a new movie idea.
Entertainment outlets report that the labor dispute threatens to disrupt production of Deadpool 3, Gladiator 2, the Venom sequel, and Beetlejuice 2. The fates of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the musical version of The Color Purple, and the remake of Road House could be affected. As have been the release dates of Dune: Part Two — a sequel to a remake — and possibly of Wonka, a prequel to a remake.
