Hollywood Beware: Another Strike Could Hit Ya

Variety reports that A-List stars Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro, and George Clooney have banded together to urge the Screen Actors Guild to begin its contract negotiations with Hollywood producers quickly, and thus avoid another strike that would further hold up development on movie projects.

Oy with the striking already.

The influential Oscar winners aren’t usually involved in SAG politics but are speaking out now in the wake of the just-concluded 100-day strike by the Writers Guild of America, which SAG strongly supported.

Studios have put feature development on hold until SAG signs a new deal.

The SAG contract expires on June 30, but talks have not been scheduled yet.

SAG, do as Clooney says and then join him for a drink. (Doesn’t he look charmingly lonely at right?)
