The studio has a number of projects in various stages of production. Among them for example is “Deadpool 3”, which has just been suspended.
We appreciate how much you put into your projects. It is disappointing when carefully laid plans have to be changed. However, constant change is a daily reality in the manufacturing industry. Our teams are no strangers to unexpected challenges and the ability to meet them. We appreciate your efforts to handle this situation as best you can. We can only hope that the new deal will be finalized as soon as possible so that we can continue the great work we have startedFeige and D’Esposito wrote.
Studios have long known that hit potential is high. Some companies have prepared for this possibility. One film crew has reportedly shot more footage with an actor who – if the strike ends – not be available in the fall due to series commitments.
Meanwhile, the situation with “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 2” is a little different. The film crew took a break to give the stars time to promote the first installment of the movie, which just hit theaters. Because of the strike, the actors – M. Tom Cruise and Hayley Atwell – They will not be able to return to work. Therefore, the current fracture is likely to extend.
