Hollywood’s Unions Sign Off On Extension Of Covid Protocols Through September 30
15.07.2022 - 22:31 / deadline.com
Hollywood’s unions signed off today on an agreement to extend the film and TV industry’s Covid protocols through September.
“It is a straight-forward extension through September 30, 2022, with two minor updates to transportation van capacity and meal service,” said a source familiar with the agreement. This is the eighth time the protocols have been extended or amended since they were first adopted on September 21, 2020, per an agreement between the AMPTP and Hollywood’s unions – the DGA, SAG-AFTRA, IATSE, the Teamsters and the Basic Crafts.
“The Agreement keeps in place the workplace protocols and protections that have allowed for a sustained and successful return to work while at the same time allowing flexibility to address the changing nature of the virus,” the DGA said in a statement posted on its website. “Right now, because of the recent surge, productions in all major production centers are implementing the stronger protocols in Part 1 of the Agreement. As conditions change, the Agreement provides productions the ability to relax protocols in areas when they experience low Covid hospital admissions.”
With respect to van capacity, the new rules state that “When transportation is provided by the Producer, it may operate at full capacity. At all times while in transit, cast and crew must wear face masks. If any vehicle contains a passenger who is not wearing a face mask (e.g., a cast member whose make-up has been applied), passengers shall observe physical distancing,”
With respect to food service, the latest modifications provide that “Self-serve food service that requires employees to share utensils such as serving spoons or tongs will not be permitted for food service to employees who are not fully vaccinated.

‘Bullet Train’ Review: Brad Pitt Stars In Action Flick That Tries Too Hard To Stay On Track
Right from the start, you know exactly what you are in for with Bullet Train, a non-stop mix of violence, comedy, and more violence, Japanese-style, as filtered through the lens of director David Leitch, a stuntman turned filmmaker whose past credits of Atomic Blonde, Fast & Furious: Hobbs And Shaw, and Deadpool 2 pretty much prepare you for what to expect here. However, even though this was mostly shot on the Sony Pictures lot in Culver City, with some killer production design and a cool train courtesy of David Scheunemann, it undoubtedly feels we are in Tokyo where I am sure the Sony bosses were delighted with the dailies as they came in. Unfortunately, from my vantage point this just seems like a lark for star Brad Pitt, coming off an Oscar for the far superior Quentin Tarantino masterpiece, also from Sony, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and the underrated Ad Astra, both pre-pandemic in 2019. His most notable appearance since has been in a comedic supporting role in The Lost City with Sandra Bullock who returns the favor here in a mostly voiceover role as his “handler,” therapist, self help guide, guru – whatever you want to call her – who is constantly guiding him through the messes he gets himself into.
