The creative duo behind 'Bridesmaids' has decided to stop filming their next project in Georgia after the passing of the 'heartbeat bill' aimed at curbing abortion.
Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo will no longer be working in the state for their new comedy, 'Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar,' a representative for Wiig explained to Variety.
Wiig is a co-writer and star in the movie along with the Oscar-nominated Mumolo. The film will be directed by Josh Greenbaum.
