PARTING SHOT

Hollywood actors have joined writers in the first industry-wide shutdown in 63 years after last-ditch talks failed, with nearly all film and television production set to grind to a halt.

The effect of the strike was immediate – stars such as Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr, Emily Blunt and Florence Pugh staged a walkout of the London premiere of historical epic Oppenheimer – and is likely to be prolonged.

That impact may extend to Ireland, where some higher-profile actors are members of SAG-AFTRA, the union leading the strike.
