The Down Under wild ride in the entertainment industry continues, and it seems Eric Bana is the latest to tumble.

As reported by Variety, repercussions are being felt as far as Melbourne Festival, where presentations are undergoing tweaks to navigate this disruption.

Absence courtesy of SAG-AFTRA's stand has led to Eric Bana's forthcoming project hitting unforeseen delays. "Australia's not scripting this story, the SAG-AFTRA strike is" - reveals the self-proclaimed 'Aussie-stamped' Bana, consequently delaying the release of ‘The Dry 2’. This follows striking shuffles from the Melbourne Festival, hinting at the nationwide effect of the strike action.
