LOS ANGELES
Major Hollywood studios say they may reevaluate filming in Georgia if the state’s abortion law goes into effect. The state is known for its lucrative tax incentives for filming.
WarnerMedia on Thursday said the company will reconsider Georgia as home to new productions should the law go into effect.
It echoes a statement Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos made on Tuesday. The law would ban abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected.
The Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger said Wednesday it would be difficult to continue filming there if it becomes law.
