'The Walking Dead' brings streams of tourists to the Georgia towns where it has been filmed. Now, AMC says it will 'reevaluate' its activity in the state if a new abortion law goes into effect.
The network behind a show that's become part of Georgia's pop-culture fiber says it will"reevaluate" its activity in the state if a new abortion law goes into effect.
"There are a number of states that are passing laws that Hollywood will find intolerable, offensive and therefore make it impossible for them to work in those states," said Tom Nunan, a moviemaker and lecturer at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. "Similar bills — some even more restrictive — have passed in multiple states and have been challenged. This is likely to be a long and complicated fight and we are watching it all very closely," AMC said.
A long list of TV shows and movies have filmed in Alabama in recent years. They include the 2014 movie"Selma" that recounted pivotal points in the U.S. Civil Rights movement. Other movies shot in the state include"Get Out" and"Big Fish."
