1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 2: Well production of just about every scripted movie and TV

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 2: shows grinding to a halt thanks to the writers and

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 2: actors striking in Hollywood, one of the very biggest shows

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: continues to shoot House of the Dragon. So how has

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: it managed to keep going? Writing on the Game of

7
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 2: Throne spinoff was completed for season two some months ago,

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: meaning the scripts are all locked and therefore available to produce.

9
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: And since the show primarily shoots all over Europe and

10
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: its cast is large a European, the show is considered

11
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: a European production. That means its cast is actually part

12
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: of the British acting union called Equity, and UK law

13
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: actually forbids the actors from staging a sympathy strike to

14
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 2: show solidarity. George R. R. Martin, the author behind the books,

15
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: says he was shocked to learn this because he supports

16
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 2: the strike and believes most people misunderstand it. He writes

17
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: on his blog, We're striking for the entry level writers,

18
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: the story editors, students open a break in, the actor

19
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: who has four lines, the guy working his first staft

20
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: job who dreams of creating his own show.

21
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: One day.

22
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: House of the Dragon is still on track to hit

23
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,319
