Christopher Nolan Won't Make Movies Until Strikes End

Last week, SAG-AFTRA joined the WGA on the picket lines as we continue to witness an incredible labor movement within Hollywood. Actors left the premiere of Oppenheimer as soon as they found out they were on strike, leaving Christopher Nolan alone to introduce the film.

According to the SAG-AFTRA bylaws, those actors won't be publicizing their work, which may lead to movies being pushed and release dates being changed in the fall.

Writers have been penciled down since May 1, meaning that no one is writing movies or TV shows right now.

Many A-list writers and actors have been seen out on the picket lines. When Christopher Nolan was asked what he would be doing during this unprecedented time, he answered solidarity with those on the picket lines.

Nolan said he would "absolutely" not develop another film until the strikes are resolved.

"It is a very key moment in the relationship between working people and Hollywood," Nolan says to BBC. "This is not about me, this is not about the stars of my film. This is about jobbing actors, this is about staff writers on television shows trying to raise a family, trying to keep food on the table."

This continues Nolan's history of being one of the best guys in Hollywood, someone who appreciates the world of artists and will not cross lines, even if it means postponing anything he has been working on.

So what will Nolan do with his downtime? Probably watch a lot of movies!

Recently, Emily Blunt, one of the stars of Oppenheimer, told The Hollywood Reporter that Nolan “watches every single movie, of every type of genre. You never hear him shit-talk other people’s movies."

Again, this makes us love Nolan even more.

We'll keep you updated on all things strike-related and how it will affect Hollywood in the coming months.
