SAG Justice League! Clooney is Batman, Hanks is Superman, Streep is Wonder Woman, De Niro is Martian Manhunter. But who’s Gleek? Matt Damon!
“Ordinarily, the banding together of George Clooney, Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro would be a producers’ dream. But the A-list foursome’s latest group project may not be exactly what Hollywood had in mind. The influential thesps—Oscar winners all—have teamed up to urge the Screen Actors Guild to begin early contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers to avoid another Industry-debilitating work stoppage. The actors’ union’s contract with producers is set to expire June 30.
In full-page advertisements in the Industry trade papers Variety and the Hollywood Reporter, the superstar four addressed their 120,000 or so peers in the guild. “As proud members of SAG, we have seen the effect of a long-running strike on our community,” the ad reads. “Now that the writers have agreed to a deal, our hope is to get people back to work.” The ad, which ends with the stars’ names, continues: “Issues are important…Nothing can be solved until both parties agree to sit down together…There is too much at stake to wait.”"
