LOS ANGELES: Generic ghosts and vague vampires haunted the Hollywood picket lines this Halloween, as striking actors tried to scare studio bosses by refusing to dress up as any of their famous characters.
With talks still ongoing between the Screen Actors Guild and the likes of Netflix and Disney, costumes that could be seen to promote lucrative film figures like Barbie — or even Oppenheimer — have been declared off-limits this spooky season.'Let's use our collective power to send a loud and clear message to our struck employers that we will not promote their content without a fair contract!' said a recent SAG-AFTRA online post.
SAG-AFTRA members walked off film and TV sets in July, over terms including pay and the use of artificial intelligence.Talks have intensified in recent weeks, with the two sides meeting most days and expressing cautious optimism — while also warning that they remain far apart on several key issues.If the strike is not resolved in the next few days, film and television production is unlikely to be able to restart at all this calendar year, as Hollywood annually shuts down over the holiday period.
