Strike fears lead to Scarlett Johansson’s film being delayed

Production on Scarlett Johansson’s new project Mary Queen of Scots has been postponed amid fears of a Hollywood actors’ strike.

Filming was due to begin on location in Ireland in the coming weeks.

But, the Irish production company behind the film confirmed on Saturday the project has been “put on hold” over concerns the Screen Actors Guild members – of which Johansson is one – will strike at the end of June.

A spokesperson for Element Pictures says, “With strike action involving the Screen Actors Guild looming we are waiting to see what happens. We are hoping that things get resolved in the next few weeks.”

The union is currently locked in negotiations with Hollywood bosses in a dispute over pay and conditions. If the talks fail to be resolved, the film and TV industry could be crippled by walkouts – much like last year’s writers strike.
