  • Introduction to Video Content
  • The Hollywood entertainment industry is currently experiencing a major upheaval, as both writers and actors have gone on strike. This marks the first time in over six decades that these two groups have joined forces to take industrial action. The consequences of this strike are far-reaching, as it will eventually impact what viewers see in cinemas, on television, and on streaming platforms like Netflix.The immediate impact of the strike was felt at the premiere of the film Oppenheimer, which was expected to be a major blockbuster release and a symbol of cinema's rejuvenation. However, instead of celebrating the film's debut, the premiere became a scene of protest and solidarity, as actors and scriptwriters joined forces to voice their grievances against the existing business model of the entertainment industry.One of the primary factors reshaping the industry is the rise of streaming services, digital platforms, and artificial intelligence. These technological advancements have completely changed the traditional business model and have created a moment of truth for the entire industry. The strike represents a crucial moment in history, where the future of entertainment hangs in the balance.The actors who walked out of the London premiere of Oppenheimer did so in solidarity with the strike. They recognize that there is an existential threat to the industry that urgently needs to be addressed. Despite the pain that this process may cause, the actors understand the importance of fighting for their rights and the rights of those on the margins of the industry.One of the key issues at stake in the strike is the protection of individuals who rely on residual payments to maintain their livelihoods and healthcare. In an industry where health insurance is only provided to those who make at least $26,000 per year, residual payments play a vital role in supporting many individuals. The potential drying up of these payments would be detrimental to the well-being of these workers, and it is a situation that they deem unacceptable.As the strike continues, the future of the entertainment industry hangs in the balance. Both writers and actors are fighting for their rights, the preservation of their craft, and the fair treatment of all those involved in the industry. The outcome of this strike will have far-reaching implications for the future of cinema, television, and streaming services, and it is a battle that cannot be ignored.
  • Subtitles section
  • Hollywood was already in the grip of a strike by its writers tonight, it spread to the actors.
  • It is the first time the two groups have taken industrial action together for more than 60 years.
  • It will eventually affect what we see here in cinemas, on television and on streaming services like Netflix.
  • But there was an immediate impact here tonight at the premiere of Oppenheimer, the film we previewed last night.
  • This was the week when it was expected that major movie releases would mark the rejuvenation of cinema, With blockbusters like Barbie and Oppenheimer hoping to pull in large audiences.
  • Instead, this is the scene in Hollywood as actors join a strike by scriptwriters and the whole business model that drives the entertainment industry looks to be in jeopardy with the studio bosses in the firing line.
  • The entire business model has been changed by streaming, digital, AI.
  • This is a moment of history that is a moment of truth.
  • If we don't stand tall right now, we are all going to be in trouble.
  • We are all going to be in jeopardy of being replaced by machines.
  • Some prominent actors left the London premiere of Oppenheimer early tonight in solidarity with the strike.
  • There's an existential threat to the industry that needs to be addressed.
  • It's being addressed.
  • It's a painful process, but it has to be done.
  • What we would be striking for if we strike is unbelievably important.
  • We have to protect the people who are kind of on the margins and 26,000 bucks a year is what you have to make to get your health insurance.
  • And there are a lot of people who residual payments are what carry them across that threshold.
  • And if those residual payments dry up, so does their health care.
  • And that's absolutely unacceptable.
  • The great fear among actors and writers alike is that artificial intelligence will provide studios with a cheaper alternative to their creative talents.
  • With scripts written by AI programs Get that for me!
  • And the likeness of actors being cloned on screen.
  • You're going to see AI used in ways I think none of us can really predict at this point.
  • So the question is, how can we harness it?
  • How can we do it in a way that's fair and that is protecting people with their intellectual property and their image?
