Games like Call of Duty are having a hard time keeping up in the market and now video game companies are likely to face a potential backlash from SAG-AFTRA actors. The world already witnessed the repercussions the last time writers from the guild went on strike.
Last year’s strike was the biggest in SAG-AFTRA history. Its combined impact with the WGA was devastating to the film and television industries, affecting 45,000 jobs and causing over $6 billion in losses to the Southern Californian economy. It was considered the biggest interruption since Covid-19 hit the world.
Call of Duty Has Been Through Much Trouble Already, Now This
The SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes were a hard blow for Southern California.
While speaking at SXSW in Austin, Texas, SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director Duncan Crabtree-Ireland raised concerns over AI-generated content in the entertainment industry. He indicated a potential strike from the union against video game companies in the upcoming weeks.

It's been 22 years since Rob Cohen directed a shameless knockoff of Kathryn Bigelow's "Point Break," starring Paul Walker instead of Keanu Reeves, Vin Diesel instead of Patrick Swayze, and street racing instead of surfing and sky diving. And while at the time, the success of the film "The Fast and the Furious" seemed only vaguely remarkable, over the course of the last two decades it has ballooned into a multi-billion dollar franchise, full of epic car stunts, ludicrous storylines, and endless ruminations about the meaning of "family."
Yes, "Fast and Furious" has become a household name, perhaps permanently associated with the blockbuster vehicular nonsense films of Vin Diesel and company. But it was not always this way. The common expression "fast and furious" has been used many times in Hollywood, for films about race car driving, funny murder mysteries, beloved Looney Tunes adventures, and low-budget crime thrillers.

Eve Babitz, a writer and once-and-future “it” girl closely identified with the 1960s and early-’70s in Los Angeles, has died at 78.
Relatives confirmed her death on social media as well as to the Associated Press, but did not specify a cause.
Part-West Coast wild child, part-boho intellectual, Eve once described herself as a “stacked eighteen-year-old blonde on Sunset Boulevard… who is also a writer.” A famous image from 1963 shows her playing chess against Dadaist artist and writer Marcel Duchamp, with Babitz completely naked and Duchamp fully clothed.
As a writer and creative muse, Babitz had a wide-ranging impact, drawing comparisons to Joan Didion, who recommended a piece of hers to Rolling Stone, kick-starting her writing career. She also ventured outside the world of letters, designing album covers for Buffalo Springfield, the Byrds and Linda Ronstadt. She had romantic connections with notable figures like Jim Morrison of the Doors, Harrison Ford,...

This past weekend, the world got a little less entertaining with the passing of veteran actor John Saxon, whose career spanned over an impressive seven decades. A truly singular onscreen presence, Saxon was teen idol turned character actor with a penchant for playing authority figures throughout his diverse career.
If you look at Saxon’s Hollywood résumé, John’s contributions to both the cinema and small screen entertainment are endless, with roles in timeless classics like The Plunderers, Posse from Hell, Summer Love, The Appaloosa, Death of a Gunfighter, Gunsmoke, Fantasy Island, The Big Score, Fast Company (which was directed by an up-and-coming David Cronenberg), Falcon Crest, Running Scared (1980), Beverly Hills Cop III, Dynasty, Melrose Place (playing Daphne Zuniga’s lawyer for multiple episodes), and of course, Enter the Dragon, opposite Bruce Lee.

HBO’s blockbuster series “Game of Thrones” wrapped up its Emmy-winning run earlier this year with its eighth and final season, but author George R.R. Martin estimates the show would’ve needed five more seasons if it wanted to be completely faithful to his popular “A Song of Ice and Fire” book series. Martin’s preferred run would’ve made “Thrones” a 13-season series. Speaking to Fast Company magazine (via Digital Spy), Martin said “it can be traumatic” when adapting a novel as dense as “Game of Thrones” to a visual medium.
“You get totally extraneous things like the studio or the network weighing in,” Martin said. “And they have some particular thing that has nothing to do with story, but relates to, ‘Well this character has a very high Q Rating so let’s give him a lot more stuff to do.'”
Martin added, “The [final] series has been not completely faithful.

The final season of “Games of Thrones” wasn’t exactly the triumphant send-off that HBO and the series’ creators, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, had hoped for. Fans were split (putting it mildly) about the final batch of episodes that aired this spring. But fans shouldn’t worry about the ‘Thrones’ books ending on a sour note.

We’ve only got three episodes of Game of Thrones left before the show comes to an end. Last week fans were treated to an epic battle that was met with mixed reactions from fans. While I personally enjoyed it, my biggest complaint was that it was way too dark! It would have been nice to actually see the battle! Regardless of that, I liked how the story played out.
Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin sat down with Fast Company for an interview and opened up about how he feels about killing off characters, whether or not they were good or bad. He also talked about The Avengers and how he was inspired by the character Wonder Man, how he was a bad guy who only pretends to be a good guy, but in the end, actually turns out being a good guy.

The end is nigh for Rey, Poe, Finn, and Kylo Ren in the first trailer for “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.” After months of anticipation from “Star Wars” fans, director J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy finally unveiled the film’s trailer during a panel at Star Wars Celebration in Chicago. The latest “Star Wars” movie will close the trilogy that started with the Abrams-directed “The Force Awakens” and continued with “The Last Jedi,” directed by Rian Johnson.” “The Rise of Skywalker” is being touted as the finale to the Skywalker saga.
Cast members Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, and Adam Driver are all returning to reprise the characters they first began playing in “The Force Awakens.” New characters are being played by Keri Russell and Richard E.

While we wait for that that, director J.J. Abrams recently talked to Fast Company about Episode IX and explained what it was like for him to take on the task of directing the movie. He said he had to take “an all-in leap of faith” to accomplish what he needed to in a short period of time. He explains that he was feeling the pressure of getting the film done in time for the release date, and says:

"There was an actual moment when I nearly said, 'No, I’m not going to do this,'" J.J. Abrams said of Star Wars Episode IX.
In an enormous new interview with Fast Company, Star Wars Episode IX director J.J. Abrams has laid out the entire saga of how he ended up helming the final installment in the Sequel Trilogy, and it sounds like he was in a very unenviable position, all things considered.
Indeed, Jurassic World's Colin Trevorrow had been working on the project for quite some time before he was fired, and who else was Lucasfilm going to turn to during the fallout other than the man who had relaunched the Star Wars franchise in the first place with The Force Awakens? But Abrams, upon getting the offer to direct Episode IX, certainly had his reservations:
“I wasn’t supposed to be there.

With the upcoming Star Wars: Episode IX, J.J. Abrams is set to not only finish what he started with 2015’s The Force Awakens, but also tie up the loose ends left by The Last Jedi while resolving the arcs of multiple Original Trilogy characters.
It’s a big job, to say the least, and in an interview with Fast Company, the director admitted to feeling some pressure. But on the bright side, the filmmaker argued that the limited time he had to create the Sequel Trilogy finale allowed his sense of spontaneity to stay intact, while preventing his ideas from being derailed by studio interference:
“I’m not complaining when I say this, but it was having to make decisions based on gut. When Damon Lindelof and I created Lost, we had essentially 12 weeks to write, cast, shoot, cut, and turn in a two-hour pilot with a big cast. And...

J.J.

Fortunately, the filmmaker is feeling invigorated by the cut that’s currently being assembled in post-production.

The director also opened up more than he ever has before about returning to direct “Episode IX” after launching the new trilogy with “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

After the group views a a commercial — like a recent Adidas spot that showed athletes, models, and DJs discussing what was cool around a table — Witherspoon will press pause and say to her kids, “What did you see?”

The Bedrock version of the popular sandbox game allows everyone to play together, regardless of platform. (Unless you’re a PlayStation 4 owner. Sony isn’t getting in on the crossplay action. Sorry.) Plus, Switch owners will be able to access new mini-games and game modes through online community-run servers.
Bedrock also brings a new in-game store called the Minecraft Marketplace, which lets players buy community-created content like skins and texture packs using a new currency called Minecoins. Microsoft introduced the Marketplace in June 2017 and invited 12 community members to become partners. Those people reportedly earned $1 million in less than three months. Microsoft has since paid over $7 million to “Minecraft” creators since the Marketplace launched, according to an interview in Fast Company.
