Hollywood’s Big Players Stay Quiet On Georgia Abortion Law

Georgia and Hollywood are worlds away from one another, physically and culturally, but irresistible tax incentives have turned the state into a filming powerhouse dubbed “Hollywood of the South.”

Productions as big as Marvel Studios’ superhero blockbusters and shows like “Stranger Things” and “The Walking Dead” call the state home base, and some have not shied away from throwing their weight around when values clash with proposed laws.

But in the week since Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed into law one of the nation’s most restrictive abortion bills, none of the major film or television studios have commented on the issue or altered production plans.
