Clint Eastwood will reportedly produce a film in Georgia this summer, despite the backlash across Hollywood to the state’s abortion restrictions earlier this year.
“The Ballad of Richard Jewell,†is set to start production this summer, according to NBC’s WCNC in Charlotte, which added that the film will star Kathy Bates, Olivia Wilde, Jon Hamm, Sam Rockwell among others.
Eastwood will also direct the movie, according to Variety. It will center around Richard Jewell, a security guard who discovered bombs at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia and was accused of planning an attack, although he was later exonerated.
