https://www.nola.com/movies/index.ssf/2018/07/roe_v_wade_the_movie.html#incart_m-rpt-2According to a story in The Hollywood Reporter, the production was denied use of the Louisiana State University campus as a shooting location due to the content of the screenplay. Also, Tulane University -- after initially agreeing to let the film shoot on-campus -- rescinded its approval after a single day of filming. A local synagogue also reportedly cancelled its contract with the production after learning of the film's content.
Since production started in mid-June, a number of cast and crew members have departed the production after receiving the script and learning of "the extremity of its point of view," The Daily Beast reported.
That includes its director and assistant director, a costumer, a location manager, an electrician and others. Actors including Stephen Baldwin and Kevin Sorbo -- who both were to play Supreme Court justices -- have also reportedly left the project.
The Daily Beast article goes on to describe a troubled set hamstrung by (Nick) Loeb and (Cathy) Allyn's inexperience behind the camera, as well as low morale among crew members.
I wish I knew filming locations so I could protest.

(10,610 posts)1. This thing is going to do nothing but lose money for the idiots who bankrolled it.
Which, therefore, makes it awesome.

are bowing out?
Or is it just because their paychecks didn't clear?...

No way those two would bow out if the narrative was "extreme".
