The Oscar winner said it would not be 'appropriate' for the production to continue.
The Big Picture Viola Davis may be the first in what will soon be a long list of A-list stars who have publicly backed away from filming a project for the duration of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, despite getting permission to continue shooting. The Oscar winner, who was working on G20, has backed out of continuing production. Deadline has reported that Davis feels it would be insensitive to continue work.
“I love this movie, but I do not feel that it would be appropriate for this production to move forward during the strike,” said Davis, who was awarded the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for Fences in 2016. “I appreciate that the producers on the project agree with this decision. JuVee Productions and I stand in solidarity with actors, SAG/AFTRA and the WGA."
