Viola Davis Stands in Solidarity with SAG-AFTRA Strike, Puts 'G20' on Hold

Viola Davis has decided to withdraw from producing the action thriller "G20" in support of the ongoing strikes in Hollywood. Despite receiving a waiver to continue production, Davis believes it would be inappropriate to move forward during the strike and sets a precedent for A-list talent negotiating work during the strike. This comes after actor Sarah Silverman criticized Hollywood stars for working on indie projects during the strike, calling it "scabbing." Other indie projects, such as "Tehran" and "Mother Mary," have received waivers to continue filming, while actors like Glenn Close and Anne Hathaway are still working under waivers.
