Westeros Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Back in May, the beginning of the WGA strike shuttered many productions, but not House of the Dragon. Now SAG-AFTRA has called a strike for many of the same reasons as the WGA… but it’s currently being reported that a couple of UK-based productions will continue filming because actors who are members of SAG are also members of the UK’s Equity, and their contracts are (allegedly) under the terms of Equity. And of course, one of those productions not shutting down (reportedly) is, once again, House of the Dragon. According to the Deadline article, the UK’s laws don’t allow sympathetic strikes, and actors are receiving guidance telling them to continue to report in to work if their contracts are under Equity rather than SAG. https://www.westeros.org/Graphics/Images/_medium/HotD_Alicent-Otto-Criston_01.jpg read on >>> View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard of Banefort Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Ironically, Olivia Cooke signed the open letter that SAG-AFTRA put out a few weeks ago, which would imply that she’s a member. But maybe there are some exceptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
