Sony Shuts Down Spider-Man Development over Writer Strike

Chris Miller and Phil Lord, who directed Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that the live-action Spider-Man series they were working on for Amazon had been put on hold because of the WGA strike in Hollywood.

Lord mentioned that development has ceased on both Silk: Spider Society and Spider-Man Noir, with the writers' rooms being shut down until there is a deal in place for writers. Lord also mentioned that the writers' rooms have been shut down.

The director of Spider-Verse stated that once the upcoming animated film Across the Spider-Verse is released in theaters, it will mark the first time in thirteen years that he will not have "been in production [on something]." The two directors of film have been very vocal about their views on the ongoing job action and have shown their support for the Writers Guild and the Directors Guild. Concerning the strike as well as one of the most pressing problems that the writers in AI are currently confronted with, Lord made the point that it is essential for people to understand "how good things can be when they are not written by a computer:"
