Clint Eastwood defies abortion boycott, says he’s gonna film new movie in Georgia

Clint Eastwood is not caving to the Hollywood elite who are angry that Georgia passed a pro-life bill to ban abortions. He says he’s still going to film his new movie there:

CNS NEWS – Despite the boycott of filming in Georgia launched by Hollywood liberals angry over the state’s new pro-life “Heartbeat” law, legendary actor/director Clint Eastwood will be making his latest movie, “The Battle of Richard Jewell,” in Atlanta this summer, reported NBC Charlotte and other media.

“Clint Eastwood will perform new film in Georgia despite abortion bill boycott,” tweeted NBC Charlotte on June 25. The movie is about Richard Jewell, a police officer and security guard who discovered a bomb at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Ga., and saved countless lives. Jewell was initially hailed as a hero and then was viewed as a suspect.

Some of the actors slated to work on the Eastwood film include Kathy Bates, Olivia Wilde, Jon Hamm and Sam Rockwell.

I’m very glad Clint Eastwood is sticking to his guns (pun intended) on this one and defying the boycott. Makes me proud to be a fan.

I don’t know about the rest of the actors listed, but Olivia Wilde is pretty dang liberal and it surprises me that she’s going along with the filming. From Kavanaugh to Trump, she is not a fan, and I would presume abortion is a big issue for her.

But I guess the old adage that “money talks” is truer than ever.
