Vianney Le Caer/Invision/APHollywood star Adam Driver has publicly slammed streaming video giants Netflix and Amazon for refusing to meet the demands of striking actors — while praising the independent backers of his new movieDriver appeared at the Venice Film Festival in Italy on Thursday for the movie’s world premiere.
“Why is it that a smaller distribution company like Neon and STX International can meet the dream demands of what SAG is asking for — this is pre-negotiations — the dream version of SAG’s wishlist, but a big company like Netflix and Amazon can’t?” Driver said at a press conference. “And every time people from SAG go and support a movie that has agreed to the terms of the interim agreement, it just makes it more obvious that these people are willing to support the people that they collaborate with.”
