A host of celebrities and scientists including Madonna, Robert de Niro and a clutch of Nobel Prize winners have called for radical change in the world rather than 'a return to normal' after the coronavirus lockdowns.
Hollywood stars Cate Blanchett, Jane Fonda, Marion Cotillard and Monica Bellucci also added their names to the open letter published in the French daily Le Monde.
The signatories are pleading for an end to unbridled consumerism and a 'radical transformation' of economies to help save the planet.
The movement has been penned and led by actress Juliette Binoche and astrophysicist Aurélien Barrau.
A full list of the 200 signatories is published in this article (below).

Their shelf life has expired, like spoiled milk. really smelly.
oh no! NOT Isabella Rosselini. Why did i think she was not crazy?
Yeah I just saw that. Sounds like a flop waiting to happen.
I suppose most of these socialist POS scum have enough FU money to stand behind wanting the rest of the world to be all equal as one third world sh*thole. Their industry is as dead as any other and much of it will never be the same. These 200 assh*les give zero fVks about the tens of thousands who support the industry in skills,craft,support and service and are sitting at home like the rest.

” stop ‘the pursuit of consumerism’”
Free movies and concerts from now on?
Sure, they would have to pay for likeness rights, unless they could get some exemption by calling it a “parody”. Still, that has to be a lot less expensive than actually paying his wage.
As for cartoons, I think they would still have to pay likeness rights if it is obvious they modeled in on a living person, unless it is also disguised as parody.
Return to Normal means they all ****ing retire and leave us alone. THAT would be an improvement.
I'd start the Church of Ted Nugent and Wango Z Tango. I'd blast the prayer service song Wango Tango many times a day @ 130db. Only when they are in town ;-)
cute. the most consumer oriented people in the world calling on us not to consume products....give up your million dollar mansions, your private airplane trips that allow you to vacation anywhere in the world along with other consumer goods like an imported sports cars and we might be able to have a honest conversation about consumerism.
And are not their forays into activism likely an empty attempt to die having produced something other than consumerism?
Is their activist whaling and blathering not mere attempted atonement for neurotic and unwarranted guilt about what they perceive to be their own empty lives?
I'm not saying their lives aren't empty, I'm merely saying they should feel no guilt that what they produced was mere consumerism. What may or may not have been sinful while they did that is their problem.
This is just a case of a couple narcissists with a fading audience projecting their unconscious guilt and empty feeling.
They believe in freedom and charity as long as they got theirs. (Paraphrased from Alan Parsons).
I say boycott ALL movie entertainers, etc, or whoever else signed the document.
Money
It’s a crime
Share it fairly
But don’t take a slice of my pie
Thanks..forgot about that song.
I like yours too, though. Colin Blunstone, of The Zombies sings on it.
Once again nitwits rise to the top. They are the floater who won’t flush. That’s all we need is “guidance” from multimillionaire hollywood losers who don’t anything about anything. These hypocrites need to be exiled for the good of America.
They are as bad as the DC crowd. They just don’t get it or understand what life is like for REAL people. I actually dislike Consumerism too, but the messenger here is the wrong one that’s for damn sure.
I’d like to make it where they didn’t pay the SOB’s a single penny...
I never heard of most of these people. I could care less what they want the rest of us to do. They live high on the hog, but want the rest of us to live in poverty. None of us consume more than these rich hypocrites. When will they ever learn they have no right to lecture the rest of us simply because they are rich.
That's about as good as Martin Luther King preaching about morality. Etc.
