The day movies and TV series ‘died’. That’s what some media call the first day of the The Hollywood Actors Guild strikewhich started on Friday 14 July.

The decision to strike comes after negotiations between SAG-AFTRA (English abbreviation of Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists), Hollywood’s largest union representing actors and other media professionals, and AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers) failed and shut down at midnight on Wednesday, July 12, after failing to meet their demands of higher wages and protection from artificial intelligence .

A number of films and TV shows had already been forced to halt production when the Screenwriters Guild first went on strike in May. Now many more will probably have to stop because of the actors’ strike, the first in 60 years.
