It is a fair point. Years ago you would see popular movies in the theaters multiple times bc it could be months to years before they were available on VHS/DVD, Cable, etc. Now you see it once and then wait a month before you can watch it in comfort of your home. Tix $$ may be 3X it was when I was a kid but I am sure…

The live action plates are shot (or, mostly shot), but the primary actors are still used in Motion/Performance capture, and that would be a no-go.

He could use stand ins but, knowing how uncompromising and how much of a perfectionist Cameron is, he’ll almost certainly wait it out.

Black Widow was going to be the launching point for Phase 4, which was all about setting up the next generation of heroes. Bidding Nat goodbye while introducing Yelena and Val would’ve worked in a very similar fashion to when Fury showed up at the end of Iron Man.

I don’t think it will delay Avatar because Cameron will do that himself. If it is released before 2030, he’s ahead of schedule. Even if it is already in the can.

many people aren’t being told and have already been scanned

entertainment absolutely maters, what are you on about

yeah..... errrrrrrrr

Okay, the title of this Morning Spoilers is misleading — House of the Dragon was going to continue filming during the writer’s strike, but it definitely shut down now due to the actor’s strike. You know, since the actors won’t actually be on set.

To expand on the House of Dragon blurb:

I thought Marvel already did that.

a. it’s already happening so your catastrophizing is 3 years late

yup

that’s exactly what they’re trying to prevent. beside the fact that most big studios already have scans of stars and background actors this is a long overdue prevention

A.W.E.S.O.M.-O 4000 proved this would work. 

I don’t know if it’s true that studio bosses figure that ‘once strikers start losing their homes and apartments that they will knuckle under’ but it wouldn’t surprise me.  Few actors or writers get rich doing their work.

The studios probably are happy the actors went on strike. When most people hear the word actors, they think of people like Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt, the ones that make millions and millions of dollars per film and not the actors that make minimum rates. The general public doesn't have much sympathy for millionaires and…

Dear Studios:

It’s kind of amazing to see the AMPTP going full mask off between this and the ‘we don’t care about negotiating, once they’re homeless they’ll cave’.

You think they’d at least *pretend* to care to garner public support. 

How about we just replace Hollywood Executives with AI? They are already inhuman morons that can only copy the original ideas of other more talented people, so why not just cut out the middle man?

I suppose I should be surprised at how nakedly evil this is, but this is coming on the heels of a less-than-week-old report where the studio heads gleefully talked about pushing the strike so writers lose their homes.
