    • katherine_heigl_120307_0001.jpgWe have two weeks before another strike can take our favorites movies and television series out of production once again, and things are starting to get scary. If things aren’t settled by June 30, we could see productions halted, and once again we could have blank television screens full of repeats. Many movie productions are trying to get things settled in the next week or two. If a strike does happen though, not every production will be ready for it.

      As far as television goes, the Kiefer Sutherland series, 24, looks to be ready if a strike does happen. They have production mostly wrapped up on both the season and the movie prequel set to air this fall. Other series have at least several episodes of their next seasons already in the can and ready to go. These include such hits as Heroes and Grey’s Anatomy. However, a new season might be delayed. The ABC series has been under fire this week because of the comments made by one of the series’ stars.

      Katherine Heigl plays Izzie Stevens on Grey’s Anatomy, and earlier this week she pulled herself out of contention for this year’s Emmy race. She won an Emmy last year for her role, but this year she doesn’t feel that there was enough there for her to receive a nomination. This has caused quite a stir among fans and non-fans of the show. Some see her words as ungrateful and biting the hand that has fed her so much success.

      One writer has spoken out about her comments, and some are saying that Heigl’s time on the show is short. We all know they have no problems removing someone from the cast if an issue arises. Look at what happened with Isaiah Washington at the end of season two. Time will only tell if Heigl remains a part of the Grey’s Anatomy family.
