2 Film/TV Productions Quit Georgia After Abortion Law Is Signed
In My List
Two film and TV projects have pulled production from Georgia after the governor signed the so-called “heartbeat bill,” which bans abortions after an embryo’s cardiac activity can be detected in the womb.
That can happen as early as six weeks, before many women realize they are pregnant.
The Lionsgate comedy “Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar,” starring Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo, and director Reed Morano’s Amazon series “The Power” initially were to be shot in Georgia but now will relocate production.
Morano did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday but told Time she had been scheduled to fly to Savannah to scout locations for the new TV series.
She canceled after Gov. Brian Kemp signed the bill.
The measure is set to go into effect Jan. 1.
