Filming In Brooklyn

With another strike looming just four months after the last one ended, the TV and movie industry is bracing for another catastrophe. From the AP: “The contract between the Screen Actors Guild and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers expires Monday, and negotiations have dragged on for weeks with no apparent headway.”

AP reports that while many movie and TV productions would shut down in the case of a SAG strike next week, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen probably would not be affected. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura is quoted as saying that they factored in an actors’ hiatus just in case, and will be able to work on visual effects during a strike.

Other productions, however, would not be so lucky. Movies that don’t rely heavily on special effects would have to shut down, and the fall TV schedule, which was decimated during the Writers’ Guild strike, could be delayed in the case of a SAG strike.
