,” announcing the decision in a statement signaling support for Hollywood’s ongoing strikes. Like over 100 other independent films, the upcoming action thriller received an interim agreement from SAG-AFTRA to continue production through the ongoing actors strike. But Davis won’t move forward with filming, setting a precedent for A-list talent negotiating the prospect of continuing work as the actors’ guild and AMPTP wait to reach an agreement.
As an MRC production, “G20” received a waiver, despite the project’s affiliation with Amazon Prime Video, which is set to distribute the film. “We should see every movie star out there striking along because you have insurance because of your union,” Silverman said in a video she posted to Instagram Thursday night. “You get residuals because of your union. All these things that you get because of your union, and you can’t stand with your union?”
