The ongoing strike by the labor union SAG-AFTRA has caused several high-profile film productions to be put on hold. Among them are the eighth installment of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise and a sequel to the Academy Award-winning film “Gladiator.”

The strike, which involves over 160,000 screen performers, is the first of its kind since 1980. It follows the earlier strike by screenwriters in May, further slowing down the production of movies and television shows in Hollywood.

In addition to delaying film shoots, the strike also affects actors’ participation in promotional campaigns. The red carpet events for the U.S. premiere of Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” had to be canceled due to the strike.

Some of the affected film productions include Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator 2,” which had started shooting last month but has been impacted by the strike. Clint Eastwood’s latest thriller, “Juror #2,” and the sequel to “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” are also facing delays in filming. Additionally, an untitled Formula 1-themed racing drama starring Brad Pitt, directed by Joseph Kosinski, has had its filming suspended.

The strike has disrupted the production schedules of these films, and it remains uncertain when they will resume shooting. The actors’ strike is a significant setback for the film industry, further slowing down the already affected production pipeline.
