Seems likely. Possible that they're not allowed to leave the country either. I remember when Vin Deisel's career took a nosedive after that second Riddick movie flopped, he was reduced to doing "personal appearances" at nightclubs until the Fast and Furious movies picked up again. Went from top Box Office and Home Rental earner to convention-circuit tier has-been "celebrity guest" overnight. It's a sign of hard times.  They'll pass it off as courageously going into battle for the midterms, but it's really them fleecing the last remaining liberal true believers of their shekels. And maybe to score a few doses of dat sweet sweet baby blood from their masters to keep the Kuru at bay.
