Hollywood came to a complete halt after SAG-AFTRA went on strike following contract negotiations with studio executives fell through. The entertainment mecha was already facing a slowdown after the writers went on strike months ago. Hollywood has faced a dilemma as multiple productions were forced to pause due to the actor’s strike. Some productions, like The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, finished before the acting talent stopped working. Unfortunately, other favorites like Mortal Kombat weren't completed before the strike commenced.
Variety reported that multiple SAG members worked against the clock to finish many projects already hindered by the ongoing writer’s strike. The Rings of Power Season 2 reportedly wrapped up production a few weeks ago. And a Julianne Moore-led miniseries Mary & George completed filming earlier this summer. Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldana’s Paris-based musical Emilia Perez wrapped filming just a week before the strike was authorized.
