Will Smith and director Antoine Fuqua will no longer shoot the movie “Emancipation” in Georgia, citing a controversial new voting law.
The Apple Inc. production, in which Smith stars as a real-life fugitive from slavery who became famous for a photograph of his whip-scarred back, was set to start filming in Georgia on June 21, according to a joint statement Monday. The director and actor called the voting law “regressive” and said it’s “designed to restrict voter access.”
“Emancipation” is the first major project to publicly break from the state, a popular filming destination because of its tax incentives and studio space. The move may inspire others to take a similar course of action. Hollywood studios have a history of taking political stances, and have threatened to withhold business from Georgia before, most recently over a 2019 bill that took aim at abortion rights.
“The new Georgia voting laws are reminiscent of voting impediments that were passed at the end of Reconstruction to prevent many Americans from voting,” Fuqua’s Fuqua Films and Smith’s Westbrook Inc. said in the statement. “Regrettably, we feel compelled to move our film production work from Georgia to another state.”

They probably didn't get enough free shite and are moving to a state that offered them a better deal. These things are never what they seem.

Some aspiring local black actors prob. lost roles. Hurting those that they are purporting to help.

I'm pretty sure Colorado is available for filming purposes.

Remember when lying Will Smith said he would never make another major movie after the way his freaky kid was rejected at the box office? I remember.

Based on the title, I wasn't going to see it anyway...

How can Georgia go on knowing Will Smith doesn't approve? The horror. The horror.

Has been moves upcoming vanity film out of Georgia. No one cares. Minority extras set to star in race-baiting film hardest hit.

So Will Smith is going to film a movie I won’t watch in a state that most likely has more restrictive voting than Georgia?
Posted on 4/12/21 at 12:43 pm to OMLandshark
I feel emancipated in that I have no desire to see the movie. And I hope will is emancipated from any revenue generated by any conservatives along with anyone that lives/works in Georgia.

And these stupid people are gonna do what when another 30 states do the same as Georgia?
Posted on 4/12/21 at 12:44 pm to OMLandshark
OKAY. Enjoy Will.

I mean, Georgia is very well known as being a very cheap place to shoot movies and tv shows.
