Post-Strike Chaos Begins 🌪️

Hollywood is in for a scheduling frenzy as it recovers from the recent writers' and actors' strikes. With production schedules all over the place, there's growing concern about securing cast and crew, finding stages, and equipment.

Studios and industry insiders are debating project priorities. While some are straightforward, like big studio films taking precedence over smaller indie projects, others are tricky to figure out. For instance, projects paused mid-filming during the strike are competing with those that got series orders in the interim. Crew members, in high demand after months off-set, became a hot commodity.

The timing of the strike resolution is crucial. Further delays could push production into the holiday season, which studios want to avoid due to higher costs. Warner Bros. Discovery estimates a significant financial hit due to the strike.

But there's a silver lining. As Hollywood races to catch up on lost time, there could be more opportunities for actors, crew members, and industry pros. Despite the chaos, the industry is gearing up for a busy period, and those who've been out of work may benefit from the increased demand.

What's coming? 🤔

A24's 'The Curse' Heads to Showtime 🏠

In the upcoming A24 series "The Curse" on Showtime, Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder play a married couple with an unusual plan: they're trying to have a baby while getting into the house-flipping business. It's a hilarious take on those HGTV house-flipping shows we all know.

Benny Safdie, who co-created the series, also stars as the producer of their fictional reality show. The show explores issues of race, class, and capital in a funny and thought-provoking way. With guest appearances by Barkhad Abdi, Corbin Bernsen, and Constance Shulman, "The Curse" is a 10-episode series co-produced by Showtime and A24.

You can start streaming it from November 10 if you're a Showtime or Paramount+ subscriber. They're even premiering the first three episodes at the 2023 New York Film Festival.

Fielder and Safdie co-created, wrote, and executive produced the show, and Emma Stone is also one of the executive producers, along with some other talented folks. If you're into quirky comedy and unique characters, this one's worth a watch.

Streaming Industry Forms Alliance 🤝

Big streaming players like Netflix, Max, and Disney have joined forces to create the Streaming Innovation Alliance (SIA). Their goal? To push for favorable federal and state policies for the streaming industry.

SIA's roster also includes other big names like BET+, discovery+, Paramount+, Peacock, and PlutoTV, among others. Their first move? Releasing a poll showing that most registered voters support streaming innovation and are wary of regulations that might impact streaming services, like collecting more user data or restricting sensitive content.

This alliance comes after the formation of the Coalition for Local News, a group advocating for changes in how streaming deals for local TV are negotiated, aiming to fix a regulatory loophole that allows streaming platforms to negotiate with network owners rather than local station owners.

Tubi Teams Up with ChatGPT 🤖

Tubi, Fox's streaming service, has joined forces with ChatGPT's AI to give users a new way to find content. They're calling it Rabbit AI, and it's powered by ChatGPT-4. It's like having a chat with a friend to discover what to watch. You can ask questions like "funny shark movies," and Rabbit AI will suggest titles like "Sharknado."

But that's not all. Your Tubi homepage will get smarter over time. If you've been enjoying classic films, it might recommend adding Hitchcock movies to your "Thriller" section.

Tubi's senior product director explained that they want to make content discovery fun again. Many people binge-watch because it's easier than searching endlessly for something new. Tubi's vast library and AI tools, like Rabbit AI, aim to change that.

They've already started testing Rabbit AI on their iOS app in the United States. And if you're an OpenAI subscriber, you can get the Rabbit AI plugin there too.
