Hollywood actors, represented by the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA), are set to go on strike after failed negotiations regarding pay and the threat of artificial intelligence. The strike would be the first industry-wide shutdown in 63 years and could result in a "double strike" if writers join in, leading to a complete halt in film and television production. A-list stars such as Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, and Glenn Close are part of the union, and their participation in premieres and promotional events would be affected. The actors are demanding better pay and protections against the use of AI in the industry.
