Northern Ireland Screen has invested £2 million in the live action adaptation of the DreamWorks animated movie How To Train Your Dragon.
The head of Northern Ireland Screen has called for a quick and equitable end to the strike by Hollywood writers and actors as a large film production in Belfast has had to be delayed.
Hollywood actors have been pictured on picket lines outside major studios, including Warner Bros, Disney, Paramount and Netflix.“This is a global shutdown, and once it was announced that there was a SAG strike, it was inevitable that How To Train Your Dragon would be put on pause and not come back again until that strike is resolved,” he told the BBC on Tuesday.
“The impact in the short term is very serious, but it is important to stress that the two things – one, it’s a global challenge so it’s a shutdown right across the world, and as soon as the SAG strike strike is over, How To Train Your Dragon will be up in production again,” he said.
