Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd are still making their upcoming movie, even though other stars are still on strike with SAG-AFTRA.

The 20-year-old girl from “Wednesday” and the 54-year-old actor from “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania” will both be in the new movie “Death of a Unicorn.”

Variety says that 39 independent films that aren’t connected to Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers companies have been given permission to keep making movies. And A24 is one of the 39 companies that are still filming their projects that are already in the works.

The Writers Guild of America has been on strike since May because they couldn’t come to an agreement about their working conditions, fair pay, and job stability. The SAG-AFTRA strike began at the same time.

When their requests weren’t met, they went on strike, and SAG-AFTRA joined them on Thursday, July 13, 2023, against the film and TV companies.

The Actors’ Guild has problems with artificial intelligence, sharing income from streaming, and raising minimum wages to keep up with inflation.

Alex Scharfman will both direct and write the story for Death of a Unicorn. ComicBook.com says that shooting will start in Hungary in a few weeks.

Ortega and Rudd’s characters, Ridley and Elliot, will run over a horse on their way home, which will be the main plot point. Then, they take it to the wilderness retreat of a very rich CEO of a pharmaceutical company.

No date has been set for when the movie will come out.
