The fellow member ofSAG - AFTRA — a joint union for movie , television , and wireless actor — are presently light upon against the AMPTP ( Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers ) for fair compensation .
Some of the rule for striking histrion are fairly self - apparent : They ca n’t , for example , work on a production for any studio that ’s a part of AMPTP . They also ca n’t promote existing piece of work , which explain why actors are conspicuously absent from premiere and other press engagement for buzzy raw films like Martin Scorsese’sKillers of the Flower Moon(though Scorsese has proven himselfwell up to the taskof shoulder the publicity duties himself ) .
What you — and SAG - AFTRA members themselves — might not have realized is that the rules use toHalloweencostumes , too . PerThe Hollywood Reporter , the jointure recently released guideline for what striker should and should not cosplay this skittish time of year .
“ Choose costumes instigate by generalised characters and figures ( ghost , zombie , spider , etc ) , ” SAG - AFTRA write in aninfographic . “ Dress up as character reference from non - struck content , like an alive boob tube show . ”
The organization did n’t come right out and proscribe striker from dressing up as character from come across content , but it did tell them not to “ post photos of costume exalt by struck message to social media . ” That said , it ’s impossible to patrol what other hoi polloi send on social media , and just because you do n’t share a shot of you in yourKen or Barbiecostume does n’t mean nobody else will . AsTHRputs it , “ nothing is scarier than getting called out forscabbing . ” In other words , a striking player is well safe in some true - to - lifearchaeologist’sgarb than sorry while suit up asIndiana Joneshimself .
