Christopher Nolan has left his fans heartbroken after he stated that he won’t work on another film until the Hollywood strike ends.

Thousands of Hollywood stars alongside writers are currently seeking a fairer share of profits from streaming services and better working conditions.

As AI continues to change every industry, actors are also seeking to protect their image rights to make sure that they won’t lose their work to computer replicas.

The premiere of Oppenheimer in the UK was reportedly interrupted by the strike, as top celebrities such as Emily Blunt, Cillian Murphy, and Matt Damon left the event.

Christopher Nolan, the director of the highly anticipated movie, said to BBC News that he would not work on another film until the industrial action is settled.

“It’s very important that everybody understands it is a very key moment in the relationship between working people and Hollywood,” he said.

“This is not about me, this is not about the stars of my film. This is about jobbing actors, this is about staff writers on television programs trying to raise a family, trying to keep food on the table.”

The director also said that the team behind the movie was fortunate that they finished their work before the strike started.

The prevalence of streaming services has significantly changed how actors get paid for their hard work.

Nolan explained that streaming services have not “accommodated how they’re going to in this new world of streaming, and a world where they’re not licensing their products out to other broadcasters – they’re keeping them for themselves.”

“They have not yet offered to pay appropriately to the unions’ working members, and it’s very important that they do so,” he went on.

“I think you’d never want a strike, you never want industrial action. But there are times when it’s necessary. This is one of those times,” Nolan said.
