After "NickCam" is screened at the Brooklyn College Film Festival, it will be uploaded to KlicKNet's YouTube Channel a few days after. We are very excited to present this short film to our KlicKNettars early next month, as well as the creative genius of our boss Kwame Alexander. Since we're on the subject on creative geniuses, I saw that the WWE is a genius for making the ending of yesterday's Night of Champions turn out the way it did. ICYMI: Here's an exclusive to what went down with The Bloodline in what we're calling the Shocker of the Week.
Our Inside Scoop this week concerns the ongoing Writers' Strike by the Writers Guild of America. There is still no settlement between them and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, and now the strike will be entering its fourth week. We still think that this will continue throughout the summer, but the likelihood that it will carry on into the Fall season seems just about 100%. A while back, we listed the shows and movies were the first ones affected by the strikes and which ones were not, now that list has just gotten bigger.
There was a lot of uncertainty on whether or not projects from Marvel Studios would be affected by the strike and we've already gotten our answer. Blade was the first victim with its pre-production on pause ahead filming which would have happened beginning next month; production will resume upon the conclusion of the strike, whenever that will be. In the midst of filming for Daredevil: Born Again, picketers disrupted and shut down filming twice in the week of May 8, resulting in everything being suspended for the remainder of that week. Daredevil is expected to continue filming for the next eight months, to conclude by November 15. Wonder Man just started shooting in April until it was paused this month, and now it's in a much similar situation like Blade, where it can only resume until the strike is over.
But this past Thursday, Deadline reported that Marvel Studios is delaying filming on another upcoming production, that being The Thunderbolts. It was set to start shooting in three weeks in Atlanta. But then, the crew was notified last Thursday and now the plan is to resume production once the strike has ended. So that's three Marvel Studios projects in trouble because of all this drama in Hollywood, one project that isn't affected at all is Deadpool 3, outside of Ryan Reynolds being unable to contribute to the script during filming, as he had done during the previous two Deadpool films, in compliance with the rules of the strike.
What makes this so different from the 2007-08 Writer Strike is that back then the Marvel Cinematic Universe was just getting started and no harm had been done to the scripts and productions of Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk. Today, we're seeing all these projects shut down due to the disagreement behind two sides, kinda like the Democrats and Republicans are right now with the debt ceiling, then again they barely agree on anything. So as one of the biggest fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Marvel Studios, I can hope and pray that the WGA and AMPTP finally come to agreement and the strike finally, unless of course if Netflix tries to mess things up, then Marvel is really screwed.
