Strike instead of red carpet Superstars stay away from their own film premieres

Danny DeVito, Jamie Lee Curtis, LaKeith Stanfield and Tiffany Haddish are consistent: Instead of going to the premiere of the latest Disney film, they stay at home. The studio is one of the major opponents in the Hollywood actors’ strike.
Red carpet without stars: Due to the historic strike by Hollywood actors, the main actors of the new Disney film “The Haunted Mansion” did not appear at the premiere of the horror comedy.
It was “really very, very difficult,” said director Justin Simien on Saturday night at the premiere of the strip at Disneyland, California. As a member of the industry, he “absolutely supports” the striking actors, even though he “misses them terribly”.
The stars of the strip, including LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Danny DeVito and Jamie Lee Curtis, were in together with all their colleagues on Friday night after failed negotiations between the Screen Actors Guild union (SAG-AFTRA) and the major film studios went on strike. It is the first strike by US actors since 1980. Because US screenwriters have also been on strike for eleven weeks, Hollywood is experiencing a double strike for the first time in more than 60 years.
SAG-AFTRA represents 160,000 actors. The union is demanding higher fees from studios and streaming providers such as Disney, Paramount and Netflix, as well as assurances about the future use of artificial intelligence (AI). Actors must stop all work covered by their contract with the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), the union.
Strike also applies away from the cameras
Actresses and actors should therefore not appear in front of the camera to shoot for upcoming productions. In addition to acting, this also includes singing, dancing, stunt work, puppetry and motion capture recordings, with which the movements of actors are recorded for video games, for example.
Working without a running camera is also prohibited. For example, synchronous recordings are prohibited – for example for audio books or to set animated characters to music. In addition, no rehearsals and auditions should take place, whether on site or recorded by yourself.
