The 2023 strikes might be behind the industry now, but one highly anticipated threequel is still going to take a good long while to hit theaters.

    I’m a filmmaker and I have barely worked for years after spending most of my adult life on a film set. Something is up. Streaming killed the industry, IMO.

    What strikes me as odd is how even the animated films aren’t getting made. They don’t have to worry about paying union technicians (the vfx industry is non-union and often a race to the bottom compared to on-set work), so it seems like it would be a lot cheaper to make animated content. 🤷‍♂️

    I can only imagine there will be a huge boom sometime next year but part of me is saying that those day are over.

    This is a terrible article. It pays lip service the strikes, but doesn’t consider that a longer production schedule might be beneficial to the people working on the film?

    It treats 2-3 years like a terrible omen of the films reception, ignoring the 5 years between the release of Into and Across.

    If stories are true, Sony was horrible to the people who worked on the Spiderverse films. If they need to take appropriate time to release a sequel that lives up to its predecessors, without having to crunch endlessly, then Gamerant can suck it up.
