The star-studded cast of "Oppenheimer" left the film's London premiere early as the Hollywood actors' union on Thursday called its first major strike in more than 40 years.
Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Cillian Murphy and Florence Pugh walked the red carpet outside the ODEON Luxe Leicester Square cinema Thursday, but then exited before the movie's showing, director Christopher Nolan told the audience inside the theater.
"We have to acknowledge, you've seen them earlier on the red carpet," Nolan said of the actors. "Unfortunately, they're off to write their picket signs for what we believe to be an imminent strike by SAG (Screen Actors Guild), joining one of my guilds, the Writers Guild, in the struggle for fair wages for working members of their union."
