  Thousands of Hollywood TV and movie screenwriters have downed tools after last-minute talks with major studios over wages broke down.
  
  A Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike, the first in 15 years, saw more than 11,000 writers - 98% of voting members - walk out from midnight.
  
  Tuesday's late-night shows are expected to shut down first, while forthcoming shows and films could face delays.
  
  Picketing will begin on Tuesday afternoon, the Guild also said.

  In 2007, writers went on strike for 100 days, at an estimated cost of around $2bn to the industry.
  
  This time around, writers are clashing with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) - which represents the major studios, including Amazon, Disney, Netflix and Paramount - in demand of higher pay and a greater share of the profits from the modern streaming boom.
