Actors join writer strike: first tandem strike in Hollywood since 1960 - eviltoast

According to reports, producers expect writers will run out of money, possibly lose their homes and be forced to come to bargaining table. Producers denied these reports.

    Conventions are still happening, but actors can only talk about old work, nothing active. That makes sense, but curious if actors will just refuse to go altogether. Would be wild for SDCC to become an actual comic book convention again.

    Edit: Maybe not? I’ve seen conflicting sources on that.

      The linked article says “During the strike, actors will not be permitted to promote past projects through conventions, interviews or panels.” That seems to me like they can’t promote anything they’ve acted in, no matter how old.

        Odd, I read the opposite somewhere else but perhaps that’s wrong.
