Rhys-Davies: I've just lost two films on the grounds that they can't get insurance for older actors against COVID-19. I'm just at the bottom end of that 75 to 90 [age] range that has apparently got three-quarters of a foot in the grave — or actually up to the knees in the grave. There is a tiny little bit in the back of my mind that's thinking, "It could be over." When I'm hearing concert organizer friends of mine say, "We don't expect to be doing anything until 2022," I take that to be some sort of measure as to what might be happening in the film world.

Moyer: I think the film world has slightly more opportunity, purely because we don't have to have an audience. But I appreciate that. It must be very difficult for you, John. The problem that we have is getting bonded. Films are getting to the point where they've been created and cast, but they can't get bonded in case somebody gets ill.

Van Dien: I just got a job where I'm only working two weeks on it, but I have to go out two weeks before and stay quarantined in a hotel room. Couldn't see my kids or anything like that — can't see anybody. I have to stay in a room completely by myself for two weeks and then they have to film and do all the tests, so I have to weigh out the pros and cons of it.

Rhys-Davies: You have to make the risk-reward calculation. You're both young and healthy and I'm guessing COVID-19 would probably rock you a bit, but not really do permanent damage. But you can't actually know.
