SAG’s MJ Warning

The Screen Actors Guild has issued a warning to members regarding the upcoming Michael Jackson rehearsal documentary: working on the film will be in violation of the group’s “Rule One.”

SAG issued a statement Aug. 26 that AEG Live, which is producing the film “This Is It” with Sony Pictures, has “not yet signed to an agreement with Screen Actors Guild covering the terms and conditions for performers and background actors employed on the picture.”

Sony recently announced the film will be released Oct. 28 – two days sooner than originally planned – and will run for two weeks.
