LOS ANGELES, Aug 24 (Reuters) - The Warner Bros (WBD.O) movie studio will delay the planned November release of a big-budget "Dune" sequel until March, a studio spokesperson said on Thursday, because its stars cannot promote the movie during the Hollywood actors' strike.

Top stars have refused to promote upcoming projects since the SAG-AFTRA actors union joined striking Hollywood writers and walked off the job on July 14.

Reuters, top stars cannot promote because that is a part of the rules of their union. I hate the way this is written.

It’s the big studios causing the problems. All they need to do is sign the contract and everyone can get back to work. Somehow the smaller studios had no problem signing. This is an easy fix, sign it. ✊
