Seems like SUCH a weird project for him, plus it looks like he's using the same style he has for the last 20 years or so which doesn't feel like it'll fit

Many of you probably don't know, but IATSE is preparing to go on strike. Below is a good summary of our issues with the contract negotiations.

#IASolidarity #Repost
Friends and family across the country- there is a very real possibility that Hollywood unions, the IATSE, will go on strike. This would halt almost all film and television production across the entire United States.  This is a historic move, and frankly a necessary one.
Many of you are probably annoyed that you've cut the cable cord, only to now be paying basically the same amount for a multitude of streaming services.
We however are more than annoyed that these streaming services, which nearly everyone has, and which are owned by some of the richest corporations on the planet, are pretending that it's still an unknown business model that they don't know if they can make money from.
They want to pay us less to work on streaming shows than for shows that air on TV.  They want to work us longer hours, and shorter weekends.  They want to contribute less to our pension and health plans for streaming movies than they do for films that have a traditional theatrical release.  They don't even want to let us break for lunch during a 12+ hour work day...
On top of all that, AppleTV+ is asking for a discount on our rates because they have less subscribers than the others, even though Ted Lasso just won all the Emmys last night.
This situation has reached a breaking point.  The studios have decided to no longer negotiate, and therefore, our leadership has decided to call for a strike authorization vote.  It's possible that this vote could lead to the producers offering us a fair contract to avoid a strike.  Or it's possible that we will have to strike for what we need.
I hope that you'll stand with us in this fight.
In Solidarity...

I can't believe it took them 19 years to figure out that an adaptation of a horror game should be a horror movie.
