Tom Cruise seems to have finally found his true “mission impossible”. The actor intervened to try to find a solution to the conflict between the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). But the situation has escalated to the point where even his mediation could not prevent the strike of Hollywood actors.
In accordance with Hollywood Reporter, Tom Cruise became involved in negotiations between actors and studios to try and find a convincing solution for both sides. However, neither his charisma nor the status of the main Hollywood star today was enough to avoid a lawsuit. The force measure, in place since last Friday, has already jeopardized the filming of important productions such as Deadpool 3.
The above environment indicates that the star mission impossible 7 And Top Shooter: Maverick participated in a meeting via Zoom in June. In it he would plead for AMPTP acknowledge the seriousness of the complaints raised by the actors’ union.
Particular attention would be paid to those related to the use of generative artificial intelligence to create “digital twins” and pay less wages or fees. In addition, he would express his support for the SAG-AFTRA proposals for give greater visibility to the work of stuntmen and their coordinators.
Despite his involvement in negotiations with the Film and Television Producers Alliance, Tom Cruise couldn’t turn back history. Just weeks later, Hollywood actors went on strike, joining writers in conflict since early May.
Tom Cruise and negotiations before the strike of Hollywood actors
While Tom Cruise supported his colleagues’ claims against major studios, he also filed a petition with the actors’ union. According to the fee Deadlineasked SAG-AFTRA to allow its affiliates continue to work to promote the films in which they star and that they are close to reaching billboards.
The request was not related to mission impossible 7, as his press tour ended before the Hollywood actors went on strike. However, Cruz assured that the strength of the artists was fundamental. to keep the public interested in returning to cinemas. Something important to keep the industry on its feet after years of lockdown caused by the pandemic.
While the official response from the organization led by Fran Drescher is unknown, Tom Cruise’s request has not gone into effect. We take into account that, for example, the distribution Oppenheimer left the London premiere as soon as the Hollywood actors’ strike was announced.
For now, conflict between artists and major production companies is far from over. Over the past few hours, SAG-AFTRA has assured that at no time during the negotiations have there been studies ready to address critical issues. While the AMPTP responded by stating that the union was “deliberately misrepresenting” the offers made to it.
