Viola Davis says filming movie wouldn't 'be appropriate,' despite SAG-AFTRA waiver

Viola Davis says she is opposed to filming her next movie amid the simmering actors’ and writers’ labor strikes — even though she has SAG-AFTRA’s blessing to do so.

Davis released a statement this weekend after her upcoming action-thriller “G20” was among dozens of independent projectsto move forward during the strike. Davis is attached to produce and star in the picture, which is partially backed by her company, JuVee Productions. Because Davis is such a vital part of the project, the current status of “G20” is unclear. When asked whether this means the production will shut down entirely until the strikes are over, Davis’ representative declined to comment further.

Davis is not the only famous actor to speak out after SAG-AFTRA decided to exempt from the strike select projects that are not affiliated with any major studios or streaming platforms that make up the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
