- Major films in production including Avatar and Gladiator sequels are looking likely to be affected by Hollywood actors taking strike action.
In the industry's biggest shutdown for over 60 years, some 160,000 performers stopped work at midnight in Los Angeles.
Screen Actors Guild members want a fairer split of profits from streaming giants and better working conditions.
The unions are also concerned about the use of artificial intelligence and how it could be used in the industry.

It's nice that the actors waited until after their production was complete to speak up.
That's not how is works. The strike happens when the deadline ends
Lies again? Reflection Journal Most Handsome
Yeah they're millionaire scumbags who only talk they don't give.
Can we have a viewer strike, there’s so much mindless crap being churned out.
I'm down.
You certainly can! Choose a especially crappy show, make a list of sponsors and get all your friends in on it and boycott like crazy the sponsors. Be sure to support shows that are in competition with the crappy show. Write letters to the sponsors and copy them to the network. The other way you can strike is to read 😀
Only nazis don't like what's coming out of Hollywood.
I have not watched Hollywood movie for ages now. Hollywood movies have become boring.
You have so many countries producing high quality movies with better stories right now, so who needs Hollywood movies?
@JohnPaul-ii why watch something you don't like, why listen to something you don't like? Bit silly if you do
I don't care, we don't care,
Yes its about Hollywood but please, everyone refrain from antisemitic comments.
When Corporate uses words like “Historic,” this literally translates to many, many years if not decades of substandard pay, conditions, benefits, etc. Shame!
Maybe the writers should stop destroying everything they write when they shove their politics into it...
Maybe you should go join the suicide cult you follow on the dark web....
Go Woke Go Broke.
If you can be replaced by a computer then maybe your skills aren’t really worth hundreds of millions 🤷♂️
No, CGI and AI is replacing extras, not A-list actors. In other words, the people making only a few pesos....
Oh, cool. Now they can add woke shit for free
@alexmurphy6605 And perfectly mimic voices from written text (see popular Skyrim mods) and very soon adapt and animate actor's likenesses on the fly. Very soon even a c-list actor with lines will be lucky to get paid for a single season, with the rest generated artificially by the studio.
@alexmurphy6605 I don't think they intend to replace main stars. That's still a draw for audiences and good actors have specific character to their acting which AI probably can't create yet (although in distant future it could use an amalgam of performances and have a good crack at it). Every other actor on set will be at risk of being replaced at some point in a season or for reshoots etc. without reimbursment. That's where I believe it will go first.
@alexmurphy6605 I sincerely mean no offense, but I think you're missing the point.
Struggling to make a living??? People need to come out here and see these gated communities where these actors live!! Unfucking believable!!!
Yet, they still support the entire film crew.... and not just the studios.
that’s only certain actors
Do you think everybody in Hollywood live in gated communities? You're only thinking of the top ones.
that's like saying everyone in the UK is born rich and famous just by witnessing the Royal Family.
'YOU GET A CROWN' 'YOU GET A CROWN' 'YOU GET A CROWN' 'YOU GET A CROWN'!!!!!!!!!!
The average Hollywood actor lives in a bedsit studio or share house and drives a Honda civic genius.
Trying to remember the last time I saw a movie is hard. Trying to remember the last time I saw a good movie is impossible.
watch more good movies then

@@karlhulme8014he Lighthouse, RRR, Past Lives. Also we have three major movies coming out, Mission Impossible today has rankings in the 90s and above, and Barbie and Oppenheimer are both receiving great reviews
Yeah! Applauding. I have no respect for any of these actresses or actors.
Okay Ding Dong. Thanks for the Minority Report! 🖕🏻🖕🏼🖕🖕🏽🖕🏾🖕🏿
Why? Do you stand with the bosses then?
@@soundscape26you don't have to stand with either. If A.I and actors both disappeared, cinemas have a huge catalogue of films to show
Matt Damon doesn't ever have to work again. Most Hollywood actors don't ever have to work again. The average person if they had that the amount of money that the average Hollywood actor has they would be able to retire. Pay the writers, the actors are already getting paid plenty
Are the actors and writers upset for getting called out in the tell all documentary "Sound of Freedom"?
Stupid bots
That's not a documentary and has nothing to do with Hollywood.
@michael4999 lol, so, can you confirm that ignorance is bliss?
It’s a movie based on true events but it’s not a documentary.
@@robo_t based on true events? Please. Stupid humans!
They won't be missed. I have 10+ years backlog of books, games, movies, TV series, UA-cam playlists to get through... And of course going outside and living a life!
These guys don't realise they are now in a very saturated industry - the attention industry. And we all only have finite hours a day to spend that on.
Places like Disney are in meltdown right now unsurprisingly with the trash being released now these days
Two of the latest blockbusters, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny & Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, are the 5th and 7th instalments of their respective franchises, and I'm guessing several more comic book based drivel-fests are due out too. Let Hollywood close down for a while because we're not missing out on much.
Dial of Destiny was a complete flop.
@@proto-geek248 Is anyone surprised?
Talking about Fast and the Furious has so many movies they're about to be a television series of movies.
@@proto-geek248 wtf is dial of destiny??
Matt Damon being interviewed about money and strikes...woah mad mad world
Right.... Blown Away listening to them talk about what's Not Fair.. Definitely Interesting Times Indeed.
Ohhhh no
What will we ever do without sub standered mind numbing dumbed down movies that are written with about as much complexity as the anatomy of a worm where they think cgi is an alternate to a good plot
We are all doomed I guess
Fun fact, Oppenheimer is supposed to be CGI-free, all practical including the explosions.
Wow,even the pedophiles go on strike
Well, they are putting in a lot of overtime at the moment. Especially in the world of politics.
Okay, Ding Dong. Thanks for the Radical Conspiracy Theory.... you forgot to take your medication, again.
Meanwhile Sound of Freedom has become one of the major hits of 2023....
Despite the MSM and pedowood telling people not to see it.
No wonder...not made by hollywood.
Mel was right.
Right wing morons
Despite the best efforts of the ‘ Elites’ ( cancelling shows due to “ air con problems “ ) this film is outperforming Indiana Jones which has twice the number of cinemas.
Hope this strike lasts forever. I won’t these overpaid leeches.
I have not watched Hollywood movie for ages now. Hollywood movies have become boring.
You have so many countries producing high quality movies with better stories right now, so who needs Hollywood movies?
Oh God! Please let the journalists be next 😂
Then you wouldn't have anything to do all day if you couldn't comment on journalism online.
They absolutely are. Publication are already investing in AI writers and now that Twitter is giving out huge ad payouts for tweet engagement you can expect their replacement to ramp up very quickly.
Who really cares? Hollywood hasn't made a good movie in like 20 years
Since the 80s I would say, last great film was rainman I.M.o
Imagine thinking your opinion is an objective fact, lol.
@@MyUniqueVibe it is 😉
Go Woke Go Broke.🙂
That's objectively false... I think you got stuck in the past.
All non actors
Now visual artists need to strike and end the studios hold.
People are not interested in Hollywood movies anymore. Maybe they don't have time to watch movies like they used to .
Its not just movies, the issues mainly affect tv shows
Maybe with AI we can have great movies again. So much bullshit lately. 80’s movies where much better.
Yeah, you can wish in one hand, and 💩💩💩💩 in the other....

@@giyanvice true
It's 160,000 SAG members, which include foreign actors who are SAG members working on SAG production sets.
Don’t do it for too long as people will then realize there is more to life than looking at a tv
No one watches TV now
Yea this will backfire on them hard u watch.
Replacing people with automation does hurt, but its going to happen just like it has in many other industries.😢😢
The problem with AI recently is in terms of copyright. It has been taking out phrases, even entire paragraphs from copyrighted works. That is a problem, especially for a country obsessed with copyright protections such as the US.
@@ianhomerpura8937yeah, and (at least at this point) they aren't as good as talented humans
terrible acting hurts franchises as well so either actors git gud or fuck off
Hollywood has been producing generic lazy cgi marvel 💩 for the last two decades. And now they’re adding cringe left wing politics into literally everything as well. The actors are all a bunch of smug ego maniacs. It’s like they’ve found a comfortable formula and don’t care or have any passion. If anything these actors and writers deserve waaay less pay. They can make some serious $$$ when they make something that’s worth making. I just hope Hollywood goes bust if I’m honest.
BBC viewers have on mass, gone on strike or gone elsewhere. The standards and standards of tv at BBC have fallen dramatically!
Actors complaining about money 😂😂😂 what a joke
Most actors don't make a great living, same goes for writers and artists in general. Only a few are 'stars'
You know this goes for the background actors as well, actors with more minor roles and minor productions
Fran’s speech was really articulate, I wish they would have shown more of it because she clearly laid out all of the issues they have and how to resolve them.
hi I want to be friendship
what is your name
Artificial intelligence is exactly that: ARTIFICIAL. It should be totally and permanently banned.
A.I. means Artificial Intelligence!?
I thought they meant Al Gore 😕
Writers & actors are afraid Al will take their jobs 😟
Al is going to kill everyone & rule the world 🥺
Now you can let Al choose your breakfast😳
These effing actors should also pay the writers
It's all an act. They are only taking time off for their rituals
They're waiting for their adrenochrome delivery.
Dont they get paid millions and millins
Exactly. Just a battle of the rich wanting to be richer.
You think every actor gets paid millions?
God forbid they worked in a factory
...
right?!
Fran Drescher’s net worth = 25 million. Give me. Fling break dude
I am 100% in support of this strike ❤ as an aspiring drama student
Hope you like your 100K+ student debt that Biden won’t forgive. There is a reason they call them starving artists.
I'm 100% in support of them staying on strike lmao!
Lol Ur an idiot mate. All just a bunch of sour losers who can't handle the natural evolution of things. Imagine being some of the top payed people in the world and having a cry becuase of software. 🤣🤣🤣 it wouldn't be so scary for them all if they actually made anything good in the last 20 years. Modern writing is the most garbage it ever has been so pffft fuck the losers.
i went to college for performing arts does that mean if i call myself an actor im entitled to $1 million???? cos let me tell you something about struggling i can guarantee these dickheads dont know what its like to use blankets to heat yourself instead of turning on a radiator to keep yourself warm.
@@ashleytaylor7621 same man, same 😭
A decade of reboots that destroy the original content, whipped up with mindless dribble on the side?
Maybe with all of them taking time off someone will have an original idea.
Now that would be ironic
No, what they'll come up with is a lesbian James Bond.🤪
Breaking News: actors and writers in the rest of the WORLD 🌍🌎 are not on strike 😂
You can bet your ass they're watching carefully though.
Except this affects a lot of industries overseas too. I'm Australian... The strikes have shut down numerous projects set to film in Australia. One of the shows which was cancelled was going to employ 700 people here. And the issue of AI and residuals in a worldwide problem.
Maybe the a listers can stop charging 10-40,000,000 dollars per movie and the rest of crew can make a bit more.
All the more reason to watch UA-cam and support that content creator.
YewTube is too heavily monitored and censored.
@@King-LXVIFortunately so, otherwise it would become a cesspool like virtually all internet places without any moderation.

@@gfys756 In line with the biggest demographic group for this channel I would assume. Nothing so shocking.
How much money does it cost to make more money in a factory? 😂
How about better films? Is that out of the question?
Hello 👋
What's the problem
Bob Igers pay is $375mil, they can afford to pay the actors and writers. Btw most actors make $30k a year not nearly as much as the big actors.
@@user-fp3zn5df9p Doesn’t matter. Woke doesn’t exist. It’s a fake propaganda campaign by the elites to rile you up. You’re being manipulated by them.
They haven’t produced anything good in many years. The world could use a break from consuming sex and violence Good riddance if you ask me.
Meanwhile Sound of freedom is low budget movie covering a real life topic that affects our children and is really well done. Hoping it stays number one at the box office.
Striking against Netflix 😂😂😂😂😂
Booo Hooo
I wish the postal workers got the same support
Or teachers for that matter.
@@gregoloniousTeachers here in Canada can earn $100k CAD with a 4 year program, more with a Masters. It’s good pay.
They did postsman pat
Just as the sound of freedom is realised. No coincidence at all
Oh noooo the poor actors, I feel so bad for them. We should get them more mansions and Bentleys
The average actor, hollywood or otherwise, lives in a studio bedsit or share house and drives a Honda civic.
@@theamazingbatboy that’s a shame
Awwww poor little rich people 😂
Millionaires are no longer rich....
A ton of actors are far from millionaires, this affects the bottom of the pyramid as well.
Actors become rich and become broke hollywood is glitz but that hollywood glitz turn into dust.
Ridiculous. They’re already far to overpaid!
Just pay 1% of the actors' salary and distribute it to other workers
This is too good to be true. Does this mean an end to totally predictable scripts, limited story lines that require no IQ at all to follow, no screaming kids, rogue cops, inevitable divorce problems in every episode , endless sexual issues of every unimaginable kind and car tyres that even squeal on dusty roads and wet grass. Let’s make a record of this strike….say 300 years.
if the actors really care, why dont they lower their own rates and give it to the lower paid workers?
Give me my money back BBC 🤡
Shouldn't have given it to them in the first place.
What's the news now that the strike is over?
Writing is horrible…
In the 1970s the coal miners went on strike about pay. They went on mass strike to force the results they wanted. The results it achieved was the closing down of coal mines. These strikers may get "closed down" due to AI being able to replace them.
By that rationale, you could marry a robot.... and go 🖕🏻🖕🖕🏾🖕🏿 yourself. Seriously, how on earth do you propose to survive!? ☠💀
sad but true...the same thing happened to the buggy whip makers in the 1920's, they wanted to strike but no-one cared. The automobile was their AI. It is like gas stove vs. electric stove which will make the other obsolete? We are in a time of great change.
Ooh, fun. The coal miners just wanted more decent pay, and you blame them for striking. Lol. What a joke.
@@Anverse-14 You are confused
Al who?
Gore?
Oh no…
Anyway
In my opinion using technologies like CGI , VFX & AI in the movie industry is very important. Because while shooting an explosive scene for instance a war , fast and furious kind of extravaganza or openhimer, cumulative the environmental pollution it may cause is not lesser than an oil refinery.
They arent like trying to improve movies but just trying to replace humans just to pocket extra money.
You used to have to be a musician to make a song. You used to have to be a photographer to take pictures, you used to have to work for holywood to make movies, ladies and gentlemen there are great times ahead where we ourselves will make movies and games about what we want, with voices faces, styles and everything what people have come up with so far, as always, adaptations requires time
I have not watched Hollywood movie for ages now. Hollywood movies have become boring.
You have so many countries producing high quality movies with better stories right now, so who needs Hollywood movies?
Lmao yeah that’ll happen. People DO make their own “songs, movies and pictures”, ever heard of social media? Not only do people already make all their own shit, it’s the REASON everything is trash now. All it takes is like 1000 bucks worth of recording equipment and every 17 year old dipshit with no life has become an “influencer.” When everyone is “famous” true talent is washed out.
Ai is a tool. This is just luddites clinging to times past. Photography killed the portrait drawing economy. New easy to use and cheap cameras made Photography studios obsolete and now everybody can take a good picture. Frantic wails of another industry failing to adapt to new tools is all this is
No one has stopped actors from sending a part of their salary to writers. Where do they think extra money for writers is going to come from? From increased ticket prices?
Individuals can't change an entire industry. You think Margot Robbie and Matt Damon some kind of finance minister who has a duty to share all the monet they were paid to others? Shame on you for ignoring the very studios that paid them.
The vast majority of actors earn very little money, and work only sporadically. "Actor" is not a synonym for "wealthy movie star."
No man, the profits made by media conglomerates, streaming services who refuse to share viewership numbers, shareholders and most of all corporate leadership who take home obscene amounts of money whether they do a good job or not. The creative industry is run like a sweatshop with only the top %0.01 of non-creative businessmen and a handful of stars seeing any significant cheddar.
Streaming duh
@@arjaygeedude. Stop. So many people in the comment section just flat out lying. It doesn't matter how you spin it. Aside from worst case scenarios and stories we've all heard of actors being screwed over, the average Hollywood actor is making a yearly salary per production, and there's always gonna be disproportionate spending in terms of catering and support staff when big wig names are literally paid 9+ million per production. It doesn't matter how you spin it. Proper management and delegation of those funds to lesser extreme extents would fix all of this in a heart beat.
The question is, should we care when these people make movies about being attracted to Children
MTV reality shows about to make a big resurgence.
I like how the cast of Oppenheimer went on strike right after they all got their big payday.
Kinda funny how actors making multi-millions are saying they are fighting for other actors to get paid what they're worth. Why don't you accept that you are massively overpaid, fork out some of your millions to the rest of the staff? When a large chunk of your movie budget ends up in paying A-list movie actors, maybe they should be paid less?
The actors aren’t striking for themselves though. They’re doing it in support of the writers and VFX workers who get screwed over by the industry. Know the facts first before you make ignorant complaints.
The price of movies is bout to Skyrocket, watch 😮
How will the Simpsons support themselves? They should move to florida!
no loss there then,let them srike for years
Cillian Murphy looks like an AI in this video…
🤔🤷🏽♀️🤐
Jocki get a pair for your apponent as well as you and they might let the colour issue go maybe,
GET OUT!
Oh boo hoo. Like any of us care about the wealthy Hollywood crowd.
Maybe those acrors making millions should "share" with the actor "victims".
Maybe you should use a spell-checker, you Dipshit.
That's not their role though?
Did Sunak offer them 6%?
I believe that Hollywood should shut down for 2 years on strike no reason you greedy actor's should.
All these actors should pledge 10% of their income to support a team of full time writers so these people can qualify for their insurance. Problem solved.
Netflix all other OTT platforms are looting writing skills big profit
They deserve Oscar’s for this short clip. Fantastic acting folks
Would have got one if it was more diverse 🤣
Seriously though every worker should join a Union.
Left-wing nut jobs trying to interfere in politics. People are dying in droves in the UK because of them.
Shows how much u know 😂😂unions don't fight for workers anymore they only fight for people with alot of money and power already like the government and in this case celebrities.
So what, it’s not like they supply an essential service, Birman are more important!
boish
Actors have good reason to strike . I don't know much about the strike but actors should be negotiating better pay in their contracts. And the up and coming actors that get shit contracts its called paying your dues.
Matt Damon only bothered now because he’s made his wad and needs positive press?
AI is here to stay I'm afraid, better look for other career paths
Hollywood sucks anymore. Get a real job.
It wasn't me it was a digital image, I did not commit that horrid crime it was AI, I wasn't there
They need to strike permanently, everything coming out of the entertainment industry has sucked balls for years. Just constant remakes of remakes, no one has an original thought or movie anymore. Too full of political DEI ESG bullshit to be worth a damn.
That means for few days as long as the strike continues there would be halt on Pedophilia content.
It's a shame they didn't parp up when thousands of other people's jobs were being taken over by AI.
new series and movies SUUUUUUUUUCKS
What have you watched
actors and writers have done more during the strike to improve the quality of Hollywood production than they have in the last 10 years. For a brief, Blissful, Moment in time we are spared further tired rehashes, Woke reimaginings, Derivative sequels, Pointless live action remakes of classic animations And the Relentless deconstruction of classic male heroes. Long may this strike continue.
Get them! It isn't right. They will throw anyone away.
