may 11, 2023 - Nudity Rider Requested Deadline for Signing

Description:

"107. The Screen Actors Guild (“SAG-AFTRA”) states that producers must provide
actors at least 48 hours’ notice before call time to review and negotiate a nudity rider. A Nudity
Rider approved by the SAG-AFTRA intimacy coordinator working on the production was
provided to Lively’s counsel on May 8, 2023. Wayfarer’s attorney communicated that they would like it signed by May 11, 2023 and requested they send any notes they may have. On May 12, 2023, Lively’s attorney finally responded that they were reviewing the Nudity Rider and would come back with notes. Their focus then shifted to ensuring Lively’s fee was deposited in escrow, and they became fixated on that, despite Wayfarer’s repeated requests for Lively to sign the customary Certificate of Engagement (Footnote 18) first. Ultimately, despite constant pursuit, it became clear that Lively had no intention of signing the Nudity Rider or her contract at that time.

Footnote 18: When working with an actor who may take time to sign the main actor agreement, it is customary to send a
certificate of engagement to protect the copyright of the film. Wayfarer negotiated the terms of said certificate of
engagement but, though it was approved by Lively’s counsel, never received a signed copy."
