Georgia already lost the baseball All-Star Game because of its new voting restrictions. And now, WILL SMITH’s upcoming movie “Emancipation” is taking a hike, too.
It’s a runaway slave thriller, directed by ANTOINE FUQUA of “Training Day” fame.
Will and Antoine issued a joint statement saying, quote, “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.
“We cannot in good conscience provide economic support to a government that enacts regressive voting laws that are designed to restrict voter access . . .
“Regrettably, we feel compelled to move our film production work from Georgia to another state.”
