\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tThe biggest names in Hollywood are showing their support for the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike by joining their fellow union members on the picket lines. In July, the labor union \u2014 which represents more than 160,000 TV and film actors \u2014 voted to go on strike after the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The union added that seeing actors attend festivals for non-major studio work is a \u201csource of pride\u201d which allows corporate executives to \u201clook out and see these independent projects thriving, while their greed and disrespect holds up<\/a> their own productions.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAccording to Variety<\/em><\/a>, Driver, 39, will appear in Venice for Micheal Mann\u2019s<\/strong> Ferrari,<\/em> in which he plays the titular character, while Chastain, 46, will be in attendance for Michel Franco\u2019s<\/strong> Memory<\/em>. Landry Jones<\/strong>, Jacob Elordi<\/strong>,<\/a> Cailee Spaeny<\/strong> and Mads Mikkelsen<\/strong><\/a> are also scheduled to attend.<\/p>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/GettyImages-1170962293.jpg?w=700&quality=86&strip=all\")
<\/div>Theo Wargo\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSAG-AFTRA has been on strike since July, while the Writer\u2019s Guild of America (WGA) has been marching the picket lines<\/a> since May. Both labor unions began their strikes due to similar issues with the AMPTP including an agreement on fair wages, residuals and the use of artificial intelligence in the industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nThank You!<\/h3>\n

\u201cThis is a very seminal hour for us. I went in thinking that we would be able to avert a strike. The gravity of this move is not lost on me,\u201d Fran Drescher<\/strong>,<\/a> president of the guild, stated in a press conference one day before the strike took effect. \u201cIt\u2019s a very serious thing that impacts thousands, if not millions of people all across this country and around the world. Not only members of this union, but people who work in other industries that service the people that work in this industry. \u2026 We had no choice. We are the victims here. We are being victimized by a very greedy entity.\u201d<\/p>\n
