Sharon Stone has cancelled filming of an upcoming project in Mississippi as a result of the state’s newly passed anti-LGBT ‘religious freedom on steroids’ bill, HB 1523.

The film’s producers informed Mississippi Film Studios president Rick Moore that the law was a deal-breaker for Stone.

The unnamed film project reportedly tackles the consequences of cyberbullying. James Cromwell is slated to direct.

3. It kind of seems like we are seceding from these states

instead of them doing it.

4. Cyberbullying?

Of course laws like HB 1523 contribute to cultural acceptance of bullying outgroups.

Better incentives for filming.

6. Money is the only way to make these people back down.

When they've lost enough revenue to make the common people start chewing on their feet, they'll change these stupid laws.

9. Agreed. We have to make hate expensive.

8. I feel particularly close to "Sherry"

because an old friend went to high school with her in western Pa. She calls her "Sherry"!
