It's a screenplay, starring himself. Part 3
Heartbreaking
There was no 11th hour save. The WGA went on strike. Already it has affected me in the most heartbreaking of ways, my favourite show was the first to be shut down. Steve Carell and Rainn Wilson did not show up for filming today on The Office. Apparently improv by actors who are also members of the WGA (most of The Office cast) is against the rules. The actors of The Office are all excellent at improv and from what I hear a lot of improv goes on during filming. Therefore, filming is pretty much going to break the rules so they might as well just shut down.
For The Office this means that, unless the strike is resolved quickly, November 15th will be the finale of their season. Sucks since they didn't prepare for that so it'll just play out as a normal episode and we'll be left with a very incomplete feeling season.
A couple of other shows have shut down production as well... The New Adventures of Old Christine is the only one I actually know. Oh, and all talk shows.
Let's all hope for a resolution very quickly! I can't help thinking about all the 'little people' on a set who live from paycheck to paycheck and who will no longer be getting paid due to the strike. share this: facebook
