After the state went to President Joe Biden in 2020 and elected two Democratic Senators this past January, progressives largely thought the battle won until Gov. Brian Kemp signed the \u201cElection Integrity Act of 2021\u201d into law.<\/p>\n<p>As they did when Georgia implemented a law banning abortion following the detection of a fetal heartbeat, Hollywood is once again pledging to boycott.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will not direct a film in Georgia,\u201d tweeted \u201cLogan\u201d director James Mangold.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"6.4657534246575\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I will not direct a film in Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mangold (@mang0ld) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mang0ld\/status\/1375288110758567939?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 26, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Given that Georgia residents will be negatively effected by such a boycott, people on Twitter pleaded with Mangold to reconsider.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI fully get your stance, James.
