I recall a writers strike years ago ruining a lot of shows. Heroes season 2 was one I believe among many others.

So no new sports, TV shows, or movies if there's a quarantine?

Time to go through my gaming backlog I guess.

That's what cut Breaking Bad's first season short, and made Vince keep the Jesse character who was supposed to die at the end of the first season.

Just think: If the Coronavirus happened last year, we'd have a more thought-out Rise Of Skywalker.

God must die.

Disney+ is going to continue not working on an Obi wan or any other show. A spokesman stated "Virus, what virus? I mean yes, it is because of the virus"

Matrix 4 is in pre-production in Berlin, the cast arrived there this week lol. LOTR and Batman are still shooting. Shutting them down will cost a fortune - that's how World War Z's budget exploded.

Is the Witcher filming in north america?

It was filming in a British studio and Kristofer Hivju was tested positive for coronachan.
It's mostly shot in Hungary, plus a bit of Poland and Spain.

Batman, The Little Mermaid and Jurassic World 3 were shut down while filming in the UK, Matrix at Babelsberg in Berlin (the US portion is done) and LOTR in Auckland. Shang-Chi was shut down in Australia. I think Ridley Scott's The Last Duel was shooting in Spain, hopefully he gets to finish it lol

Variety article about the impact of the virus:

Director George Miller, for instance, has been meeting with names including Anya Taylor-Joy for his “Furiousa” spin-off, which he hopes to start shooting in 2021.

Of course, Miller is making concessions to coronavirus — those auditions have taken place via Skype.
