'This is viewed as an existential moment for writers,' 'Dopesick' creator Danny Strong told THR on the picket line.
“We feel like the current financial model towards streaming in particular is unfair, that it needs to be adjusted,” Strong added. “It needed to be adjusted three years ago, but the writers very graciously because of the pandemic chose not to address the issues at that time, because it was such an unprecedented, disturbing time for the entire world. But these issues have only gotten worse for writers since then. Streaming has only gotten bigger.
“I think that’s what they want for directors. I think that’s what they want for actors and for crew members as well,” Stewart added. “I think they don’t want people to be able to actually make a living, creating the content that is so profitable for them.”that he, like other writers, doesn’t “want to be on strike,” but energy for union “is really high” right now because there’s so much at stake in terms of past wins and the future of the industry.
Coker — who said one of his main priorities for striking was to avoid Hollywood becoming a “gig economy” — admitted he wasn’t necessarily surprised by what happened at midnight on Tuesday, but toldhe was “hoping that the corporations would see the light and they would see that without us, there is no content.
