G20, an action-thriller fromMRCthatViola Daviswas set in November to both star in and produce, has been granted an interim agreement from SAG-AFTRA, the guild revealed via its website on Friday.
Sources tell Deadline thatthe starry title made the cut for a waiver, even given the involvement ofAmazon, because the project is officially an MRC production and will only be distributed by Amazon.
But even with the agreement in hand, neither Viola Davis nor the producers have any plans to resume production at this time.
