Without mandates to get a shot, some film and TV sets have been thrown into chaos as A-list holdouts have caused work stoppages while others say, “It’s not my place to police anyone.”
On the other end of the spectrum, in July, Oscar-winner Sean Penn left the set of NBC Universal’s Watergate-era limited series Gaslit (co-starring Julia Roberts) and refused to return until every member of the production was vaccinated. Ultimately, Penn returned two months later with the compromise that everyone in Zone A—a category that typically includes the project’s main actors and key crew members—get vaccinated. Penn has been extremely vocal about his opinions regarding the vaccine, telling THR while promoting his film Flag Day that he wants theatergoers to “stay home until you are convinced of these very clearly safe vaccines.”
