‘Mission Impossible' Star Hayley Atwell: Hollywood Isn't Thriving ‐ ‘Industry on its Knees'

[Breitbart] Actress Haley Atwell, co-star of Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, has said that Hollywood has become "an industry on its knees" as writers and actors strike for better pay and benefits.

Atwell gave her diagnosis on the film industry, which has been crippled by the Writer’s Guild of America (WGA) strike and the Screen Actor’s Guild (SAG) strike, when speaking at the London Equity actor’s rally last Friday. She quoted research from Deadline when saying that "87% of SAG-AFTRA members don’t earn enough to qualify for health insurance."

"There is an illusion that if you are seen on telly, then you’re fine, but for most people, that is not the case," she said. "This is not an industry that is thriving. It is an industry on its knees."

#1 When a pair of movie tickets, popcorn and a drink run close to $50. And you know you are feeding and supporting the FAR LEFT Agenda that the Hollywood is constantly is seen doing for attention.

Many are saying screw it, wait and Red-box it.

The only movie we have seen in the last 4 years in a theater, since Hollywood started playing vocal far left liberal politics, has been Sound Of Freedom.

It seems many other are Streaming movies using a Fire Stick, loaded with an app called Cinema-HD, ran over a VPN. Then watch the movie for free at home on the LCD 60+", along with drink and bag of pop-secret for under $5.

All without the constant distractions of cell phone blues lights, and other disruptions.

#2 We're about 2 generations away from doing it mostly in CGI and AI without a lot of these people. They won't disappear, but the traditional industry will shrink much like auto production or newspapers have since the 60s.
