Antoine Fuqua and Will Smith will move production on their big-budget, runaway slave thriller “Emancipation” out of Georgia in protest over the state’s controversial new voting restrictions.
“At this moment in time, the Nation is coming to terms with its history and is attempting to eliminate vestiges of institutional racism to achieve true racial justice,” Fuqua and Smith said in a joint statement. “We cannot in good conscience provide economic support to a government that enacts regressive voting laws that are designed to restrict voter access. The new Georgia voting laws are reminiscent of voting impediments that were passed at the end of Reconstruction to prevent many Americans from voting. Regrettably, we feel compelled to move our film production work from Georgia to another state.”
“Emancipation,” which was scheduled to begin filming on June 21, stars Smith as Peter, a fugitive from slavery who is fleeing Louisiana in the hopes of traveling north to freedom. Fuqua will direct from a script by William N. Collage. Fuqua Films and Smith’s media company Westbrook Inc. are backing the film, which sold to Apple Studios in a deal reportedly valued at $120 million. It is unclear where production will move and whether or not Smith and Fuqua’s decision will pressure other Hollywood players to cease filming in Georgia. The Peach State has become a major production hub in recent years, with the likes of Tyler Perry and Marvel setting up major film and television shoots in Georgia because of its generous incentives.

The fewer the niggers, the fewer the crimes. Wherever they were going to film, now the area will see less TNB and stay more environmentally pristine. If the niggers want to go somewhere more expensive (California, cough cough), they can go right ahead and waste their money. All that money to make a film that even a regular liberal would be bored to see? I wonder if some clever YT producers are doing this as an intentional flop, like the musical. Someone might need millions of dollars in tax write-offs.
I don't think I need to go into all those lies about Georgia's laws, which actually expand hours for, and protect the rights of, real voters. The only ones who have a problem with it are those committing voter fraud.
