Eastwood tells Georgia to make his day; he'll film new movie in Atlanta

Legendary actor-director Clint Eastwood is known for roles like "Dirty Harry" Callahan and making box-office hits like "American Sniper," and his right-of-center views are also well documented.

With Hollywood heavyweights boycotting Georgia over the state's heartbeat abortion law, Eastwood has decided to go against the grain and come to Atlanta to begin work on a new movie.

Eastwood will begin production this summer on "The Ballad Of Richard Jewell."

The movie is going to be about the security guard who was considered a suspect in the bombing at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics after he alerted police about a bomb-filled backpack. Jewell was eventually cleared, but his life was never the same. He died in 2007.

Here's more from Atlanta TV station WXIA.
