Disney CEO Bob Iger has called the demands set by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA not realistic, as SAG is about to go on strike.
The WGA strike has been going on for over two months, with members of the Writers Guild of America wanting more money in residuals from streaming content. they also want to ensure that their jobs will not be placed by A.I. screenwriters. Now, the actors in the Screen Actors Guild are on the verge of going on a SAG strike for similar reasons.the looming SAG-AFTRA strike “very disturbing,” saying it will have a “very, very damaging effect on the whole business.
Although Iger respects “their right and their desire” to be fairly compensated, he says they “have to be realistic about the business environment and what this business can deliver,” and that the strikes will cause “huge collateral damage.
This means that actors will not be allowed to film movie and TV productions, take part in press junkets or film premieres, or promote anything at San Diego Comic-Con.Jonathan Sim is a film critic and filmmaker born and raised in New York City. He is an avid fan of Marvel, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Pixar, DC, and nearly every new movie. In his free time, he does magic tricks and works on short films.
