Action Film Set Disrupted By Crew Strike
2 Apr
Summary
- Crew strike halted production of Jonathan Majors' new film.
- IATSE union called the strike over unspecified labor issues.
- Production companies are attempting to replace striking crew.
Production on an untitled action film starring Jonathan Majors in Gaffney, South Carolina, was disrupted recently when crew members walked off the job. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) called for a strike, citing a series of labor issues. While filming continues in some capacity, the production companies are actively seeking to hire replacement crew members.
The film, written and directed by Kyle Rankin, is described as being in the vein of 1980s and 1990s action movies. Jonathan Majors is starring in and executive producing the project, which marks his first film role since his 2023 assault conviction.
Producers for The Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend have dismissed the strike, with one producer stating they are "too busy being bad asses" to be concerned by the picketing workers. This incident underscores the complexities of film production and labor relations.
