Will Smith, Antoine Fuqua will no longer film slave drama 'Emancipation' in Georgia - CNBC
Apr 12, 2021 35 secs

"Emancipation," a slave drama directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Will Smith, will no longer be filmed in the state of Georgia due to a new voting law that was signed there by Gov.

Regrettably, we feel compelled to move our film production work from Georgia to another state.".

This is the first film to pull its production out of the state because of the legislation.

It is unclear what the financial toll will be for moving the project's production out of Georgia, but having Fuqua and Smith, who are both Black and major players in Hollywood and internationally, support the decision could put more pressure on other productions to leave the state.
