How will the world of entertainment be affected?
Specifically, the strike will paralyze the entire American film and television industry, which will affect numerous productions such as the sequel to Paramount Pictures’ ‘Gladiator’, ‘Wonder Woman 3’, ‘Avatar’ 3 and 4, ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’, ‘Blade Runner 2099’ and ‘Ghostbusters 4’.
It will also affect series like ‘Euphoria’, ‘Stranger Things’, ‘The Last of Us’ and ‘American Horror Story’, the ‘Saturday Night Live’ program and even ‘The Simpsons’.
During the strike, stars will not be able to walk red carpets or do promotional work for film and television productions, putting more pressure on media companies to find a solution.

-WHAT IS THE REQUIREMENT?-
The actors are demanding salary increases, an adjustment in the payments they receive for retransmissions of their productions and, together with the scriptwriters, they also want to regulate the future use of artificial intelligence in the industry.
Comic-Con, the rendezvous of the world of pop culture in San Diego next week, could also run out of stars.
The Emmy Awards ceremony scheduled for September 18 could be postponed to November or even relegated to next year.
The last time Hollywood actors and screenwriters went unemployed simultaneously was in 1960, when Ronald Reagan, actor and future president of the United States, led an action that forced the studios to give up.
