‘Lone Wolf' controversy: Bryan Cranston halts shoot, demands full payment for cast and crew
has refused to continue working on his new film 'Lone Wolf' over non-payment issues.
Even though the actor has received his payment, he's standing up for other cast and crew members who haven't received their payment and says he won't finish or promote the film until everyone gets what they're owed.
According to Deadline, Cranston has taken a firm stand against unfair treatment on the indie film sets over nearly $2 million in funding suddenly vanishing during the production process.
Cranston found out about this after he had already finished filming most of his scenes and was shocked and deeply upset by the situation. In response, he publicly expressed his disappointment and frustration and described the situation as 'a mess.'
He reportedly made it clear that he will not return to complete the remaining few days of filming, nor participate in any promotions for 'Lone Wolf', unless all unpaid cast and crew members receive their full payments.
He also mentioned that his co-star
Lily Gladstone
likely supports his decision.
The film 'Lone Wolf' is directed by Mark Pellington, who is known for his earlier work on Arlington Road. The story of the film follows Cranston's character, who hires Gladstone's character to assassinate a public official.

Other actors involved in the film include O'Shea Jackson Jr., Jennifer Ehle, Chet Hanks, and Spencer Garrett.
While most of the film has been shot, a few important scenes still remain to be filmed.
Due to the unpaid wages, the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) issued a 'Do Not Work' order for the film. This means that union actors are not allowed to continue working on the project until the matter is resolved and payments are made.

The couple, who recently relocated to Puerto Rico ahead of Gallinari's upcoming season with Vaqueros de Bayamón, found their beachside bliss interrupted by a frightening shark attack that left Boi hospitalized and recovering from surgery. Thankfully, both mother and unborn child are safe, though the emotional shock still lingers. Former NBA star Danilo Gallinari's wife had a shocking encounter near the shore On July 31, 39-year-old Eleonora Boi was swimming at Carolina Resort beach, a typically busy stretch of sand in Puerto Rico, when the unthinkable happened. A shark bit into her thigh in shallow waters. The attack caught the Italian sports journalist completely off guard. 'I never thought I could get attacked by a shark and I was near the shore and on a super crowded beach,' she shared on Instagram the following day. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) Despite the chaos, Boi was quickly rescued and rushed to a nearby hospital, where she underwent successful surgery to treat the wound. 'Thankfully, me and my baby are fine,' she wrote, offering some reassurance to concerned fans. Accompanying her post was a photo of herself in bed, bandaged but smiling playfully. Boi, who shares two young children— Anastasia, 4, and Rodolfo, 2— with Gallinari, is currently expecting their third child. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Her ability to find humor in the ordeal became evident when she jokingly warned, 'Shark will be hearing from my legals soon.'
