With both writers and actors on strike, it has become exceedingly difficult for movies to film, but that hasn’t stopped some of them from trying. Ridley Scott’s Gladiator sequel reportedly didn’t stop filming when the actors' strike first started, but now the production is in trouble. Although it's not with the Screen Actors Guild, but with PETA.
TMZ reports that director Ridley Scott has received a letter from PETA complaining about the treatment of animals on the set of the sequel. The animal rights organization claims they were informed by a whistleblower that at least one horse collapsed on the set of the film, allegedly due to the horse being dressed in a heavy costume and left in the direct sun for a prolonged period.
