To ‘skinny’ Hollywood… it’s all fleas. The scriptwriters have been on strike for two months and this Saturday, if nothing changes, the actors and actresses will also join. Their motives are similar to those of the writers: They ask for better wages and, above all, greater protection against the unauthorized use of artificial intelligence.

Tom Cruise or Keanu Reeves They have been spoofed in images without their permission. They need the use of AI to be regulated as soon as possible. They also ask that the distribution of benefits be changed. The actors union affirms that, despite the fact that the budgets for series and films have increased, they receive the same as before.

Not to mention the restocking rights, what is known as “waste”. What the actors perceive for this aspect on platforms is tiny compared to what they used to get on conventional television. If the stoppage is confirmed, it would be a catastrophe for the movie mecca and the actors are determined not to give in to their claims.

Up to 300 stars of American cinema, including heavyweights like Meryl Streep or Liam Neesonthey signed a letter a few days ago in which they demanded that their union a tough negotiation to reach an agreement to improve their conditions and wages. At this time, everything points to an inevitable stoppage.
