but auction has been shut down for months there are no signs of major studios opening up again at least not around los angeles we all await the release of movies already finished like the latest james bond one that's just a matter of time but with very little in production the industry is in the biggest crisis it has ever faced film expert scott rockstro joins me after this. this is the closest deal gibson has been to auction and all while attending the cattle on his ranch north of los angeles gibson has been a stunt man in hollywood for 35 years but coronavirus means there was barely any filming anymore so great is the risk of onset infections bringing expensive productions to a halt. i haven't been on a movie. i don't know 56 months now it's been terrible all my friends are what is working so we're very lucky to have this ranch and have a little my side income growing on gibson has recently started giving rudy lessons
8:46 pm
bring him back and also rent some stables but his future as a stunt man is uncertain hygene rules are currently being developed including a 2 week quarantine before filming begins but gibson is skeptical yeah those are some man fights are my bread and butter. firework mostly fights or or plain. ice to specialize and save a few lines being a bad idea to be in a cup or whatever but yeah you know it's all intimate things are going to change. james fontenot self has been thwarted by the virus no time to die is the name of his new adventure which should have had the silver spoon in april now the crimea has been postponed indefinitely. the dream factory hollywood is in a deep sleep most of the shooting here has stopped. or. 120000 people have
8:47 pm
lost their jobs in the american film and t.v. industries from light can't even years to make up artists. pazin is the head of crimson studios more than 3700 square meters a current the unused normally production companies rent this space but they are in a dilemma explains pazin it's a big gamble for them it's not insurable so either they hold and things fall apart in other ways or they jump in and they could be at risk financially by shutting certain productions down due to someone getting sick or a crew member getting everyone else on the crew 2nd cast included so to me we're in a very big unknown that could be very very scary. like every crisis this one has a window animated films can be produced remotely and instead of going to the cinema
8:48 pm
a new sponsor will soon be arriving by a steaming service in homes around the one. where 3 or the studios are filled and scott rocks. the production guard said it's scary scary is it have you ever known anything like this no not in my 20 some years of reporting on the film industry and really if you look back on the history of film industry there's nothing never anything like this i mean during world war 2 you know bombs were dropping in in berlin and dropping in in london and they were still making movies in those kind of countries at that time there stole the cinemas are still open this type of complete shutdown has has never happened and it's a real i think almost next essential threat to the film industry particularly in hollywood which because of the u.s. having problems dealing with the cold in 1000 pandemic haven't really been able to get started at all the. and the production that tries to get started is under the
8:49 pm
risk that they could quickly be shut down and have to face that risk of locking everything down again so they can't shoot in hollywood they're going elsewhere yeah it's funny you know i mean they used to be in hollywood that you depress the studio boss by telling him how big your box office was now you can impress them by telling them how small your covert 1000 infection rate is in your country so countries that have really dealt well with the pandemic there really attracting big movies now to shoot there like new zealand which has been one of the countries that's been the best to dealing with the pandemic james cameron is right now in new zealand shooting for sequels to avatar his big hit from 200-1000 the big science fiction i have now this is a massive you know these sequels are massive massive movies and they're the kind of huge productions of could not be done in hollywood right now because it just would be safe so. new zealand because it's had such success in keeping its coded infection rate low are printing in these type of movies because this is the only place they can shoot and actually don't we have
8:50 pm
a holywood star right now here in ny you have to move very very most definitely definitely the most excellent canada reads is in the city because he's prepping to shoot a film for another sequel to a big science fiction film it is going to be shooting in studio battles we're just outside berlin and it's exact same reason because germany has been very good at dealing with over 1000 pandemic was able to has been able to restart its production of course it's been done a lot of safety procedures it's being done in a whole different way it's a lot more complicated i think a lot of film producers are having to really learn learn their craft or learn how to make movies in these new under these new conditions yeah yeah i was going to say i mean apart from different locations how are we going to see movies made completely differently i think we're still in the midst of producers are still in the midst of learning how to do this but i think what's definitely going to come is a lot more virtual production not just animation because that can be done at home and that's great for people at this moment but. production where actors are shot by
8:51 pm
themselves maybe at home and then are brought together in one scene together virtually on a computer that has already been done it's done on lot of big news like avatar but i think it's going to come much more common in film production just because it can done be done safely i have to say though i think there's a limit to that because actors don't like performing that way know any director who wants to direct his actors via video link so i think there is a limit to that but as long as this pandemic stays with us i think you can see a lot more of these type of innovative technological solutions very briefly though we get these productions they get finished but cinemas are still closed yeah yeah it's a huge problem one of these movies going going to come out and can even come out in cinemas i mean you seeing some big movies like crystal and tenet that's going to come out in cinemas end of august here in europe and then september in the u.s. so they're still counting on cinemas but everyone is worried if that these films are just going to go out online and if that happens i think you could really be
