A24 is not part of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), so “Death of a Unicorn” is one of the 39 independent projects that SAG-AFTRA gave a waiver to so they can continue filming amid the strike. To get a waiver, a producer must be “truly independent” and agree to be bound retroactively to the agreement that is eventually reached at the end of the strike.
A24’s upcoming film “Mother Mary,” starring Michaela Coel and Anne Hathaway, also received a waiver and is expected to pick up shooting again soon. Deadline noted that “Death of a Unicorn” is still in “deep development” and is not yet ready to begin filming.
