Post Production in Nepal | Productions Affected by the SAG-AFTRA Strike

 Post Production in Nepal

For the first time in 63 years, the Screen Actors Guild and the Writers Guild are on strike at the same time. Writers have been on the picket lines since May 2, and on July 13, Screen Actors Guild president Fran Drescher, formally known as the nanny named Fran, announced actors would be joining the writers officially beginning at midnight on July 14. This historic stand is in response to stalled negotiations with studios on fair compensation, self-tape auditions, and AI, among other sticking points. While on strike, actors can’t act or promote, which leaves studios with blank pages and empty sets. Below, a running list of productions that have been affected by the actor’s strike so far.

The much-awaited Challengers, starring Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor, was supposed to hit theaters September 15, but director Luca Guadagnino and Sony have decided to push its release to April 26, 2024, according to Deadline. The strike forbids actors to do promotion for their movies, and, with a cast like this, it’s no shock that Guadagnino would delay the film’s release until he can milk Zendaya’s red-carpet looks without being a scab. While Zendaya might “take care of her little white boys,” the AMPTP surely doesn’t take care of the union.
