Tyler Perry expanding big in Atlanta. Major movie now going forward.

And note that this movie is about the first deplorable. The first CIS White Male accused of being a White Male gun toting, trigger happy mass murderer.

oops.

Clint is basically immune to criticism on the Georgia abortion issue because of his wealth, and his age, and his 60 years in the movie business.

The actors and the production people in his film are NOT immune.

He will have to hire a lot of very brave people to get this movie made in Georgia.

Starring Kathy Bates.
She’s older & she’s got more insurance.

Gee, a rumor is that one of the Atlanta stage hands unions has got lots of members who are or were meth heads. And I guess meth heads are for abortion? Otherwise, I would guess that most everybody in small town Georgia just wants to have a movie done. Covington again? Vampires are OK.?! Maybe Savanna or Blue Ridge?

96% of actors will take any job they can get. I think that’s the unemployment rate among actors. That means 96% of SAG members are out of work today.

I recall some documentary about a film that Eastwood made. “Unforgiven” perhaps? But it sounded like everyone from the actors to the gaffers would go to hell and back for Eastwood.

In that case, Clint’s movie will get made in Georgia, and the boycott will fail.

With Clint’s backing, this movie will make a bunch of money. Georgian’s should be proud.

https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/interviews/a15877/clint-eastwood-profile-1012/

The above is a link to a long interview and article about Eastwood from 2012.

An excerpt:

Well, twenty years ago, Jack Green went to Canada to do the cinematography for a movie being shot around Vancouver, and an official for a Canadian filmmaking union asked when Clint Eastwood was going to shoot a movie in Canada. “Never,” Green answered, “because he can’t bring his family.”

“How big is his family?” the official asked.

“Fifty or sixty people who go everywhere he goes,” Green said.

When the official understood that Green was referring to Eastwood’s crew, he offered a deal: Anyone who could prove that they’d worked with Eastwood on more than five films could come up to Canada and get around the union’s work rules.

“Well, that was everybody,” Green says, “and that’s how Unforgiven came to be shot in Canada.”

I am going out on a limb here, the actors in Clint’s new movie are going where he tells them to go, otherwise, no job.

I think it was in that interview I linked previously. Clint was directing Kevin Costner, and told him they were ready to shoot. Clint waited a few minutes, then told Costner’s stunt double to put on a shirt.

The double did the scene - walking across a field. The camera was so close that the image of the person was just a blur - probably an interesting artistic shot.

Costner comes out and says he’s ready for the shot. “We got it already - we’re moving on.”

Costner got pretty mad. Clint told him “I get paid to burn film.”

Other actors say how great it is to be on an Eastwood film because they learn so much.

Puh-lease. I’m in Hollywood and I personally know at least 8 productions who are moving forward in the next 3 months. and 3 of those productions are run by a leftard homos. Money talks, and you just dont fold up your tent after pre-production costs such as locations, rentals.

Will more people move to Canada when Trump is elected or refuse to work in Georgia due to the abortion bill?

Answer:
Some B and C wannabes, or has beens, will work in Georgia and appear with Stacy Abrams and say she convinced them to stay and fight.
