The SAG-AFTRA strike has complicated the fall festivals, to say the least. Today, Willem Dafoe talks to VF’s David Canfield about both his dedication to the strike and the pain of not being able to support movies he believes in. The actor, a four-time Academy Award nominee, had three movies at the festival in Venice, including the Oscar-bound juggernaut Poor Things, but the strike made it impossible for him to be there. “It broke my heart,” he admits. Still, he’s delighted to be in Toronto talking about his role in Patricia Arquette’s directorial debut, Gonzo Girl—and the importance of what SAG-AFTRA is fighting for. “I don’t do it for the money,” he says in a candid Q&A. “But you can only get screwed so much.”
Elsewhere in HWD, Esther Zuckerman raves about Jessie Buckley and Olivia Colman’s Wicked Little Letters, which just premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival; Vicky Krieps, an award winner at TIFF, talks about navigating the spotlight; Drew Barrymore responds to a backlash; and SNL’s Please Don’t Destroy guys look back on their cross-country tour.
