Entertainment Buzz: Inside Hollywood's Latest Strikes and Premieres

The entertainment industry faces significant events including a strike that impacts major video game publishers like Electronic Arts and Take-Two, the premiere of Kevin Costner's new film at the Venice Film Festival, Josh Hartnett's challenging role in 'Trap,' and varied news from Paramount Global's acquisition bid to Onyeka Onwenu's passing.

Analysts suggest that major video game publishers such as Electronic Arts and Take-Two will remain insulated from significant impacts due to an ongoing strike by voice actors and motion-capture artists, thanks to their in-house studios.

Kevin Costner's Western series 'Horizon: An American Saga' is set for its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 7, with the first part having debuted in Cannes earlier this year.

Actor Josh Hartnett takes on a new challenge playing a serial killer in 'Trap,' a thriller directed by M. Night Shyamalan, describing the role as a significant departure from his previous work.

In other news, Apex Capital Trust has submitted a bid to acquire Paramount Global for up to $43 billion, and former BBC presenter Huw Edwards has pleaded guilty to charges related to indecent child pictures.

Nigerian singer and actress Onyeka Onwenu, a cultural icon, has passed away at age 72. Additionally, Venice will limit tourist group sizes in an effort to reduce overcrowding and enhance the quality of life for residents.
