No shoots, no auditions, no tours, no press, no social media promotions — these are some of the union's strike rules.
In a historic development, both writers and actors in Hollywood have officially gone on strike for the first time in more than 60 years.
The writers have been on strike for over two months now, and it seems that the SAG-AFTRA fight is poised to be equally drawn out. Tours, personal appearances, interviews, conventions, fan expos, festivals, panels, for your consideration events, premieres or screenings, award shows, junkets, podcast appearances, social media promotional posts, and studio showcases are off the table. Which means festivals like the Toronto International Film Festival in September and next month’s Comic-Con and Venice Film Festival would have to be scrapped.
