Dozens Of Hollywood Actors Pledge To Battle Georgia Filming If “Heartbeat Bill” Passes

Deadline ^

[EdnaMode]

With “Hollywood” the industry so often stretching well beyond “Hollywood” the town – especially given that stretching increasingly reaches Georgia – about 50 actors including Amy Schumer, Amber Tamblyn, Alec Baldwin, Don Cheadle, Rosie O’Donnell, Patton Oswalt, Sarah Silverman, Essence Atkins, Uzo Aduba, Gabrielle Union, Christina Applegate, Ben Stiller, Sean Penn, David Cross, Mia Farrow, Colin Hanks and Bradley Whitford has signed a letter written by Alyssa Milano in opposition of the state’s so-called “heartbeat” anti-abortion bill

The letter was sent Thursday morning to Georgia House Speaker David Ralston and Georgia governor Brian Kemp, but has been circulating on social media all day.

Do it. You’d be taking away Abrams’ Hollywood donor base.

[utahagen]

Yes, he does. Alec Baldwin's been spotted at Sunday Mass — and we're talking about regular Sundays, not just Christmases and Easters — consistently in Los Angeles and NYC. Friends of mine used to see him in churches in both cities, as well as out in the Hamptons Sunday after Sunday. He's also had all of his children baptised and takes them to church. So, let's give the Devil his due. So, I am mildly surprised and disappointed he'd get involved with a boycott of Georgia on account of the Heartbeat Bill. I wouldn't expect him to back the Heartbeat bill, but the church-going father of four young children shouldn't attach himself to this boycott.

[utahagen]

Well, as I posted elsewhere, Alec Baldwin actually does go to church - and not just on Christmas and Easter - and he has had all of his four children baptised. (All of his four younger children, that is; don't know if his daughter with Kim Bassinger was baptised.) So, he's going to a great deal of effort if his Catholicism means nothing to him. I suspect he's willfully blind on the issue of abortion.

One thing all of these people have in common, besides being in show business, is that they all got born.

[Cecily]

Good. Get out of Georgia. Take your filthy “morals” back to Hollyweird, a/k/a New Sodom, and stay there.

One rather curious note: who’s one the biggest TV and film producers, who does most of his production in Georgia? Why, none other than Tyler Perry. His first studio was a 200,000 complex, located in two buildings formerly owned by Delta Airlines. More recently, he purchased the 330-acre, former Fort MacPherson Army installation (which closed in 2011), and is moving his operations there.

Mr. Perry shoots almost all of his film and TV projects in Georgia, and employs a lot of actors and technicians. Funny that his name hasn’t come up in Hollywood’s “boycott” of the Peach State. Obviously, the Left Coast hypocrites don’t want to anger someone who might hire them down the road.

[EdnaMode]

Yup. They can’t even see the hypocrisy.

[Vaquero]

I suspect he's willfully blind on the issue of abortion.

Exactly.

Stick with Mel Gibson if you want to back a flawed Catholic actor.

[Vaquero]

She’s chucks second cousin once removed. By she is a Dumb $hit in every way.

[vpintheak]

Bye-bye TWD!

[BipolarBob]

How can I get them to boycott Arkansas?

[adorno]

Most of these actors aren't working anyway.

Those with current gigs and the A-list actors were not going to risk their present situations, so, it all came down to those not working doing the dirty work, in the hope that perhaps it would help them get future gigs.

[HHFi]

Thank you for this handy list of actors to boycott.

BTW, it’s a pretty safe rule of thumb that if you want to be a good parent, do the exact opposite of whatever Mia Farrow says. From brainwashing her daughter into accusing Woody Allen of sexual assault (nope, not buying that; it’s at odds with the findings of two investigations, witness accounts and every verifiable fact) to her adopted kids’ stories about what a monster she was, to the scary number of kids she took in who later committed suicide, she should be banned from ever commenting on any subject remotely related to motherhood.

[minnesota_bound]

Can they be arrested for extortion like that lawyer vs Nike?

[confederatecarpetbag]

So don’t film in Georgia. Who cares? The state would be better off withiut these self-aggrandizing has-beens

[qaz123]

Is Arkansas a Right to Work state? If so, then there’s no need to get them to boycott anything. The states need to cut the handouts, tax incentives, tax breaks and whatever else the industry is given and force them to pay the same union wages that they were paying in NY and California, which they can avoid in Right To Work states. We’ll get a chance to see their hypocrisy.

[utahagen]

It’s tragic because Mia Farrow started out as a good mother but she let the whole Hollywood celebrity thing corrupt her. She was willing to adopt children nobody else wanted, but she got involved with Woody Allen and, well, not a good idea. Then she was (understandably) furious when he got involved with her teenage daughter and trumped up sex abuse charges against Allen. It didn’t have to turn out that way for her and her children.

[Dick Bachert]

I guess there was at least one small farmyard critter between them?

[Leep]

If he wins a second term they are moving to Canada.

And this time they are really really ( 2 reallies so you know they are serious.) leaving.
