Oppenheimer cast walk out of UK premiere in ‘solidarity’ with actors’ strike after their London event was started early due to the action
The Oppenheimer cast walked out of UK premiere in ‘solidarity’ with actors’ strike on Wednesday night.
The likes of Cillian Murphy, Florence Pugh, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt and Rami Malek walked the red carpet at the Odeon in Leicester Square earlier in the night.
But the group left the event prematurely to ‘go and write their picket signs’ in preparation for the ‘imminent’ strike by the actors’ union.
Director Christopher Nolan told the cinema’s audience: ‘You’ve seen them here earlier on the red carpet.
‘Unfortunately, they’re off to write their picket signs for what we believe to be an imminent strike by Sag, joining one of my guilds, the Writers Guild, in the struggle for fair wages for working members of the unions, and we support them.’
