Everyone is rushing to finish their movies.

According to a report heard today it seems that many film and television productions including Scorsese's "Shutter Island" are rushing to finish their projects. The reason for the rush is the supposed SAG strike in a few days, I really hope this does not happen. My question is what happens to films like "surrogates" will that just shut down? Because that movie is slated to film here until August. If there is a strike lets hope it's quick. Hopefully Gov. Patrick's trip to Hollywood was effective and we can count on more pictures coming here.

I had read that we could continue to work (at least for a while) without a contract as other unions sometimes do.

It'll hurt in the short term, help in the long term, if a strike is neccessary.

There will be no strike! People don't have the stomach for it coming off the heals of the damage of the writer's strike. In the end SAG will be the one to suffer.

People agreeing to work and not showing up.

I was on a project yesterday (Mall Cop) which was a nice experience and worked with nice people. What amazed some people is that there were a few no-shows, what I had said to them is don't be too surprised because this happens more than you think. When that happens that screws a lot of people up first the production because they are expecting their numbers for that day, and people that actually wanted to work that day. So if you can't make it on that project for any reason please call the casting director the day prior so they can fill in your spot. It's the best thing you can do in that situation to still be good with the casting directors and the production.

Are future films in jeporady because of looming strike?

That is a question really no one knows and is asked quite often. If there is a strike and it does last as long as the writers strike does, that will be a problem. But let's hope everything gets resolved by next month so the ongoing traffic of movies continues here in our very cool state. strike,

Portions of the SAG strike my be resolved sooner than later.

What I have heard as of late is that the upcoming strike might not be as long as some people are projecting. Certain aspects have already been cleared. So, with that being said it might no be as long as a process as the previuos writers strike. I think that strike did so much damage that SAG probably does not want to go down that road but we will see.
