— Variety (@Variety) May 21, 2019
- The new comedy from Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo (Bridesmaids) has pulled out of filming in Georgia after the state signed a bill banning abortions after the detection of a fetal heartbeat.
- Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar, which was written, produced by and set to star Wiig and Mumolo, has not yet determined a new shooting location.
- Gary Sanchez Productions is producing, with Lionsgate distributing.
Hope more productions follow suit.
