Greetings, and welcome to another edition of The Monitor, WIRED's roundup of entertainment and culture news. It's only been two days since our last installment, and man, a lot has gone down. For one, Disney could possibly stop setting up shop in Georgia if the state's anti-abortion law goes into effect. For another, Jessica Jones' third and final season is heading to Netflix in just a few short weeks. Finally, Tom King is working on the script for Ava DuVernay's The New Gods movie. Let's get to it.
Disney May No Longer Film in Georgia Over Abortion Ban
The list of Hollywood productions considering leaving Georgia over the state's new abortion ban continues to grow. Netflix voiced its intentions earlier this week, saying the company would "rethink" filming in Georgia if and when the law goes into effect, and a handful of other directors and creators have also expressed a desire to pull their productions out of the state under similar circumstances. Now it looks as though Disney, which has filmed movies such as Black Panther and Avengers: Endgame in Georgia, may also leave. Speaking to Reuters, Mouse House honcho Bob Iger said it would be "very difficult" to continue working in Georgia if the so-called "heartbeat" law does indeed get implemented on January 1. "I think many people who work for us will not want to work there, and we will have to heed their wishes in that regard," Iger said. "Right now we are watching it very carefully."
