American actors will be joining writers on picket lines, after members of the US acting guild voted to take strike action.
The decision to walk out means that for the first time in 63 years, both SAG-AFTRA and WGA will be on strike at the same time.As the strike was announced, stars including Matt Damon left the London premiere of historical epic Oppenheimer to"write their picket signs", the film's director Christopher Nolan said.
Speaking on stage minutes before the strike announcement, he told the audience:"I have to acknowledge the work of our incredible cast, led by Cillian Murphy. "The list is enormous - Robert Downey Jr, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Kenneth Branagh, Rami Malek and so many more. You've seen them here earlier on the red carpet.
"Unfortunately, they are off to write their picket signs for what we believe to be an imminent strike by SAG, joining one of my guilds, the Writers Guild, in the struggle for fair wages for working members of their union."
