Oppenheimer' cast leaves London premiere midway as Hollywood stars join writer strike

Los Angeles, Jul 14 (PTI) The A-list cast of filmmaker Christopher Nolan's new movie "Oppenheimer" left the film's London screening midway in solidarity with the strike called by a Hollywood's actors union.

On Thursday, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Radio and Television Artists (SAG-AFTRA) voted to join screenwriters in the first joint strike after failing to reach a consensus for a new contract with the studios and streaming services, represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).

The London premiere of "Oppenheimer", Nolan's sprawling epic about J Robert Oppenheimer, the theoretical physicist remembered as one of the fathers of the atom bomb, saw lead stars Cillian Murphy, Florence Pugh, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt and Ramy Malek grace the red carpet
