Force Majeure

Backstage: "The force majeure provision, which has been part of the Screen Actors Guild's basic film and television agreements since 1937, protects actors in the event a production is postponed. According to SAG: 'If a film or television series is postponed or suspended by reason…of fire, accident, strike, riot, act of God, or of the public enemy…judicial order, or illness of any member of the cast or of the director, one-half salary shall be paid the performer for the first five weeks of…the suspension.'"
