Two more film productions have been put on pause due to the Writers Guild of America strike. 11,500 writers remain on strike for the fifth consecutive week after failing to negotiate higher wages.
With 11,500 writers on strike for the fifth consecutive week after failing to negotiate higher wages, the Writers Guild of America strike has shuttered the production of many films and television programs. This work stoppage is the first in 15 years.Marvel's fourth installment of the Spider-Man series and the film Unstoppable out of Ben Affleck's and Matt Damon's production company have been affected.
“I can’t talk about that, but I can say that we have been having meetings. We’ve put the meetings on pause in solidarity with the writers,” Spider-Man actor Tom Holland told Variety. “There’s been multiple conversations had, but at this point, it’s very, very early stages.” Meanwhile, Unstoppable's film set, near the University of Southern California, was met with protesters as early as 4:30 a.m. Picketers appeared at the set for the first time, even though a source reported to Deadline that the movie has been filming for two weeks. In the film, Jharrel Jerome is playing Anthony Robles, a three-time All-American wrestler born with one leg who won a national championship at Arizona State.
Unstoppable is the second film out of Affleck and Damon's production company, Artists Equity, which most recently produced Air, a film surrounding Nike's creation of the Air Jordan shoe.These pauses in production come as Netflix shareholders voted against compensation packages for its top executives in protest of their proposed plush 2023 pay in a show of support of the Writers Guild of America strike.
Across the industry, Writers Guild of America negotiators are asking for a total of $429 million. Writers Guild of America Negotiating Committee Co-Chairman Chris Keyser issued a video statement Friday assuring members,"June will bring us all some answers."
