The SAG-AFTRA union have agreed to a tentative deal with major studios which will bring to an end the longest actors strike in Hollywood history. Reaching an agreement with the likes of Disney and Netflix on Wednesday November 8, the 118-day long strike officially ended just after midnight earlier today.
On behalf of the union, the negotiating committee voted unanimously on the deal which will then be presented to the SAG-AFTRA national board for final approval this Friday. That three-year contract will see actors protected against artificial intelligence (AI) for the first time in history, with the agreement also increasing minimum salaries and introducing new bonuses which will be paid by streaming services.
In a statement, SAG-AFTRA officially suspended the strike and thanked those who supported them: "We also thank our union siblings - the workers that power this industry - for the sacrifices they have made while supporting our strike and that of the Writers Guild of America. We stand together in solidarity and will be there for you when you need us. Thank you all for your dedication, your commitment, and your solidarity throughout this strike. It is because of YOU that these improvements became possible."
Following final approval, Hollywood will now ramp back up to full production following months of limbo. With both actors and writers (who were also on strike earlier this year) walking off sets, Hollywood had to hit the pause button which led to several productions halting. This caused multiple delays, as seen with the likes of Disney's live-action remake of Snow White and the next instalment in the Mission: Impossible franchise shifting their release dates back by a whole year. Meanwhile other films moved back due to studios not wanting to promote them without the actors, as seen with the upcoming Dune 2.
Several productions will now be able to resume in the coming weeks, which might again adjust the release schedule. For which upcoming movies to look out for, check out our article which covers the rest of 2023 and beyond.

Voice acting in video games isn’t often discussed unless a performance is good or bad. After all, many people just focus on what’s being said within the video games and don’t always pay attention to the actors themselves. That’s sad, given that voice actors work hard to do these lines, and when you don’t get a quality voice actor, the game can suffer. That brings us to a unique patent that was found on Reddit belonging to Electronic Arts. According to the patent, they’re trying to create a device that would let YOU become a voice actor for the game you’re playing.

The Sims is a lot of things, a place you can create your own virtual world and customize it and the people who live there however you like chief among them. With so many items and symbols synonymous with The Sims over the course of more than two decades, it's a shame there haven't been more opportunities to own merch pulled from the series in real life. That changes right now as The Sims Shop, an official online outlet filled with clothes, accessories, and more, all of it either pulled from or inspired by the games, is now open.
The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake sparked some serious excitement when it was announced back in 2021. KOTOR is a seriously good RPG and a top-tier Star Wars experience, but at 20 years old it's also very dated. Unfortunately, it has not been smooth sailing since, and at this point there's legitimate doubt that the remake will ever see the light of day. And there was no good news on the status of the game in the most recent Embracer Group financial report—in fact, it was quite the opposite.
Making an iconic villain your own is no easy task, as Tom Blyth can attest. The actor plays Coriolanus Snow in The Hunger Games prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, which is set some 64 years before we meet him in the original films.
