Bradley Cooper is going to create his second directional feature, and first with Netflix. The Oscar-nominated star has directed and starred as the lead in the upcoming biopic, Maestro. It is going to be premiered at the Venice Film Festival this year. Amidst the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strike, it certainly is exciting news. However, there is a saddening update about the premiere as well.

The Venice Film Festival is one of the oldest cinematic kermess in the world. It is one of the most important European events in the filming panorama. The festival showcases the most prominent, original, and most awaited, be it new or upcoming talents. Currently, the Bradley Cooper-led Netflix biopic is one of the most awaited projects which got a place at the Venice Film Festival. However, amidst the ongoing strike, the actor decided not to attend the premiere to support the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strike, per The Wrap.

From productions shutting down to actors backing off from attending events, the strike is affecting the entire industry on a huge level. Now, The Hangover star not attending his passion project’s premiere is a sign of the strike not ending anytime soon. While the movie is getting a big premiere at the International Festival, the viewers will have to wait a little longer to see it on the streaming giant.

Although the DGA made a deal with the AMTPT before the actors’ strike, the actors can still promote their works. However, the A Star Is Born actor chose not to do so in order to support the ones who are still on the picket lines.

Did other projects also get affected by the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strike?

Not only films but also the production of shows are also facing the hit because of the strike. While many actors and showmakers have voiced their opinions about their support, they decided not to give up yet. It resulted in the creators imparting a pause on the production.

Along with the Netflix shows and movies, the production of the MCU movies has also stopped. Not only shows and movies, but the award ceremonies are also facing delays. Recently, it was reported that this year’s Emmy Awards also got delayed.

While there is certainly a chaotic situation taking place in Hollywood, fans of the various projects are also getting anxious. And just like these actors, the fandoms are also supportive of the ongoing strike. Until the situations take a positive turn, share your views about Bradley Cooper’s decision not to attend the premiere of his film.
