Now that Hollywood’s actors have joined its writers on the picket line, new content creation from studios and streamers has effectively been cut off for the time being.
There will be no red carpet walking or promotional events for actors to attend, which seems especially out of the ordinary during the summer blockbuster season. To belabor the point, on Thursday, the big name cast of director Christopher Nolan’s feature documentary “Oppenheimer” left the film’s London premiere as news of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) was preparing to strike dropped. That meant actors Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, and others suddenly disappeared leaving Nolan to explain their absence.
