Why writers have stopped Hollywood

Oh come on, surely the really big films can escape this strike.

Nope.

Everyone from Warner Brothers to Sony Pictures is reeling from the shock, and while they are trying to rush completed scripts onto the floors immediately, union rules make sure these scripts can't be altered. Affected are major international directors like Tim Burton, Clint Eastwood, the Coen Brothers -- and all with projects starring A-list blockbuster talent. Millions are at stake.

Shantaram, Mira Nair's Johnny Depp vehicle, is on hold, as are TV shows written by WGA talent like The Simpsons and The Office.
