I think this is very obviously true, especially since Clint is supportive of abortion rights himself. I'd be shocked if he were in favor of the fetal heartbeat abortion ban. However, he's never been one to let politics get in the way of the movie that he wants to make, and I think he wants to film in Atlanta because the events were set there, and that's what he sees as most authentic and best for the story. But, I think a case can be made that Clint has probably gotten more conservative in recent years, or at least has consistently chosen to emphasize those views. "Trouble with the Curve," "American Sniper," "Sully," "The 15:17 to Paris, this movie, and arguably even "The Mule," all have pretty strong conservative undertones. Eastwood's never been an arch conservative, so those criticisms are just wrong, but it's kind of difficult to deny that all of these films are kind of thematically of a piece, and they all seem to revolve around the promotion of moderately conservative values and the rejection of parts of liberal orthodoxy. I think his desire to criticize, or at least comment on, what he sees as the overreach of the media today, and what he views as their tendency to be less fact based and more ideologically driven, is likely one of his main motivations for making "Richard Jewell."

This is exactly what I was afraid of to happen. Ridiculous at its highest level. I'm afraid that this issue becomes an excuse so they can hammer Clint and his movie. Don't those snowflakes ask themselves that is Clint Eastwood the only director and producer who works in Georgia right now? NO. There are so many productions underway this summer in Georgia. so why in the world is it only Clint Eastwood who becomes a target?
That controversy is just ridiculous. Clint Eastwood became a target because he’s like a big fish for the media. Clint is a filmmaker above all. If Clint is allowed by the official authority to shoot his movie in Georgia, what’s the matter ? The main events described by the script took place in the State of Georgia. So, it’s logical to shoot the film there.

I remember that Eric Rudolph was the guy who actually did the bombing, and that it was during the Atlanta Olympics, and that Jewell was wrongfully accused and later exonerated. That's about it. This could be like "Sully," where many people who are unfamiliar with these events may not actually be aware that there's a more compelling story to be told here than might be obvious at first glance.
I agree with you, AKA23. Richard Jewell could be like Sully, in many ways. But I think that Richard Jewell will be more dramatic and perhaps more ambitious than Sully. I like Sully and I think that technically, it’s a good movie. Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart gave good performances. But Sully did’t give me big emotions like A Perfect World, The Bridges of Madison County or Million Dollar Baby for instance. Even American Sniper is more moving than Sully, in my opinion. So, I hope that Richard Jewell will give me some emotions. I suppose that it will depend on the direction that the movie will take.
