Moviegoers weigh in on demands made by striking actors, writers: 'I'm all for it''
Hollywood shuts down as actors and writers hit the picket line in the first industry-wide strike in over 60 years. Fox News spoke to Americans from New York, Texas, Tennessee and Wisconsin to get their thoughts on Tinseltown going dark. Hollywood actors joined screenwriters in their months long strike against studios, streaming services and production companies represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) on Thursday, marking the first time in over six decades that the two unions have been on strike at the same time. Many moviegoers and TV fanatics who Fox News Digital spoke to realize the impact the strike will have on their favorite shows and movies as production grinds to a halt. Since May, writers, represented by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) have been on strike, asking for a guaranteed number of writers per room, increased pay, and regulated use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the writing process.
