The actor’s strike has reached Day 100, as talks between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP remain halted.

Wim Wenders and Thierry Frémaux signalled their support on Saturday for the Hollywood actors strike as the industrial action hits its 100th day.

Christopher Nolan has praised Taylor Swift for her innovative approach in releasing her concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, directly through AMC theatres.Nolan said that Swift’s deal with AMC is an “incredible lesson” for studios that are reluctant to embrace the theatrical experience, IndieWire reported. Swift’s concert film, which documents her six-night residency at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, broke records for the highest-grossing concert film or documentary of all time, earning $123.5 million globally in its opening weekend.Swift also notably sold tickets at $19.89 each (and $13.13 for children) in the US, in reference to her acclaimed album and her favourite number.

A cohort of major Hollywood actors, including George Clooney and Scarlett Johansson, have offered to pay $150 million in dues to help end the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.

EXCLUSIVE: In one of the first major blows to the 2024 theatrical release schedule due to the ongoing actors strike, sources tell us that Marvel Studios‘ Deadpool 3 won’t be making its May 3 start-of-summer theatrical release date. Even if the strike ends in the next few weeks, a 2024 restart on the half-finished Deadpool 3 would not get the Ryan Reynolds-Hugh Jackman threequel to a May opening date.

EXCLUSIVE: After meeting on a Tuesday Zoom call to figure out how to end an actor’s strike that will shortly stretch beyond 100 days, a group of Hollywood’s biggest stars laid out to SAG-AFTRA leaders a groundbreaking proposal that amounts to the town’s biggest earners defraying the costs to AMPTP signatories by eliminating the cap on membership dues, to be used to bolster health benefits and other areas that SAG-AFTRA is trying to shore up.

Hundreds of protesters were arrested on Capitol Hill today as they demonstrated inside the Cannon Office Building, chanting for a ceasefire in the Israel–Hamas war.

Tilda Swinton, Steve Coogan and Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja are some of the 2,000 people from across the arts and entertainment world who have signed an open letter calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.Miriam Margoyles, Maxine Peake, Frankie Boyle and Charles Dance are also among the signatories of the letter, which condemns various governments for “not only tolerating war crimes but aiding and abetting them” amid the current conflict between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas, as well as “every act of violence against civilians and every infringement of international law whoever perpetrates them”.Citing Israeli Minister of Defence Yoav Gallant’s depiction of Palestinians as “human animals”, the letter goes on to argue that Palestinians “have become people to whom almost anything can be done”.“We are witnessing a crime and a catastrophe. Israel has reduced much of Gaza to rubble, and cut off the supply of water, power, food and medicine to 2.3million Palestinians.

More than 2,000 figures from the UK’s arts and culture world have signed an open letter calling for the immediate cessation of Israel’s blockade and bombing of Gaza.

George Kay looks conflicted. Speaking to Deadline before the resolution of the writers strike, the British WGA member had put down his pen on an Amazon Studios movie project and ducked a U.S. publicity round for his Apple TV+ series Hijack. But it’s fair to say that the strikes coincided with Kay having a serious moment.

SAG-AFTRA Chief Negotiator and National Executive Director Duncan Crabtree-Ireland is very happy with Taylor Swift and not so happy with Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos.

Don’t say the ‘M’ word.

They’re reading from the same script.

The SAG-AFTRA strike, a wild card throughout the fall festival season, has created a closing stretch of the New York Film Festival unlike many (any?) of its 60 previous editions.

In a move not attempted by actors at San Diego Comic-Con, Trainspotting and Obi-Wan Kenobi actor Ewan McGregor took the stage at the Javits Centers today at New York Comic-Con to discuss himself, not struck work during what is the 92ned day of the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Negotiations have once again collapsed between the actors’ union (SAG-AFTRA) and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (aka AMPTP). The actors’ union is on strike as they try and negotiate fair wages in the age of streaming, artificial intelligence, and more.
