The state of Georgia has attracted a lot of business from Hollywood in recent years for film and TV production. However, after the incredibly restrictive „heartbeat bill“ was signed into law earlier this month, many members of the entertainment industry have threatened to boycott the southern state. Now, Kristen Wiig’s new movie has pulled out filming in Georgia, her rep confirmed toVariety on May 21. In response, plenty of other stars are proving that they’ve got her back.
In April, news broke that Wiig would be re-joining her Bridesmaids creative partner, Annie Mumolo, for a new comedy titled, Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar. Their work together on Bridesmaids earned them an Oscar nomination in the Best Original Screenplay category back in 2012, so there’s a pretty good chance that Barb and Star will end up being a hit, too.
Georgia won’t be enjoying any of the fruits of that labor, though, thanks to the anti-abortion bill that Governor Brian Kemp signed into law on May 7.
