AMC’s Preacher season 2 may be headed to Atlanta, Georgia.
AMC’s new TV series Preacher is a hit. The Seth Rogen produced comic book adaptation Preacher was renewed earlier this month for a second season and season 2 will feature even more new episodes. Preacher filmed the first season in Albuquerque, New Mexico where Albuquerque Studios served as the show’s home studio. But, according to OLV, cast broke the news of a potential move during an interview with EW Radio at SDCC last week.
Presumably, the TV show is trying to cut costs and Georgia’s current tax credits of 30% allow for the show’s producers save more money per episode. In fact, there are over 30 TV shows and movies filming in Georgia right now.
The series follows “a Texas preacher named Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) who is inhabited by a mysterious entity called Genesis that gives him the power to make people do whatever he commands. Once this power attracts the attention of two mysterious angels, Fiore (Tom Brooke) and DeBlanc (Anatol Yusef), Jesse, his badass ex-girlfriend Tulip (Ruth Negga), and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) are thrust into a crazy world populated by a cast of characters from Heaven, Hell and everywhere in between.”
Currently, Preacher is the second most watched new series on cable television among the key demographic and averaging 3.3 million viewers per episode. So when the news hit the Internet that AMC planned on expanding and renewing the series it wasn’t much of a surprise.

Following the Dallas shootings, police are now arresting people for criticizing cops on social media.
Four men in Detroit were arrested this week for posts on social media that the police called threatening. In fact, one tweet that led to an arrest said that Micah Johnson, the man who shot and killed police officers in Dallas last week was a hero. None of the men have been named, nor have they been charged but, shows a new era in policing in America.
According to the Intercept, Detroit Police Chief James Craig told reporters, “I know this is a new issue, but I want these people charged with crime.” Craig added, “I’ve directed my officers to prepare warrants for these four individuals, and we’ll see which venue is the best to pursue charges.”

It’s important to keep in mind that five police officers were killed in the Dallas shootings, the most since September 11th and as a result, law enforcement officials across the nation are more sensitive to comments about police officers. However, the arrest is sparking controversy especially among free speech advocates. “Arresting people for speech is something we should be very careful about,” Bruce Schneier of the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, told The Intercept.
The four people have been arrested for saying a wide array of comments such as Micah Johnson was a hero, to allegedly threatening a police officer. These men and women have been charged with crimes ranging from inciting injury to persons or property to public intimidation.

“Certainly, posting that kind of thing on social media is a bad thought,” professor Larry Dubin of the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law told the Detroit News. “But having a bad thought isn’t necessarily a crime.”
But, is this legal? As The Intercept pointed out, the Supreme Court set a precedent last year when it ruled that prosecutors pursing a charge of communicating threats need to prove both that reasonable people would view the statement as a threat and that the intent was to threaten. However, Elonis v. United States dealt with a man who had posted violent rap lyrics about his estranged wife and the court reversed his conviction.
What will this mean for the future of police and social media? Well, a simple retweet, comment, or share could land you a couple of months in jail, if you’re not too careful.
Want to become famous? Try working as a background extra in the film industry.
Breaking into the film industry can be extremely tough. Most actors have to start at the bottom and work their way up. In fact, everyone in a TV show, movie or commercial that does not speak is a background extra, and they are typically on the lowest part of the film industry totem pole. However, many of Hollywood’s biggest and richest actors have worked their way up the ranks to become some of Hollywood’s biggest celebrities and actors.
A background actor or extra is a performer in a film, television show, stage, musical, opera or ballet production, who appears in a nonspeaking or nonsinging (silent) role, usually in the background. For example, Megan Fox started her acting career in 2001 and was getting by as a background actor taking on roles such as “Partygoer Dancing Under Waterfall” in “Bad Boyz 2”. Her background role would later pay off as she was spotted by the movie’s director, Michael Bay, which led to a role on Transformers.
Here are 5 A-list actors who started as a background extra.
5. Channing Tatum – $14 Million

Channing Tatum first acting gig was working as a background extra. He had experience working as a dancer and model out side of the industry, but his first acting job took place in the movie War of the Worlds in a church scene. He can also be spotted in the music video for Ricky Martin‘s ‘She Bangs’. He would later land a role in the movie Step Up, which would launch his acting career.
4. Renee Zellwegger – $60 Million

Before Bridget Jones Diary, Renee Zellwegger was a background extra in the 1993 classic movie Dazed and COnfused. She was called “Girl in Blue Pickup Truck”. She would later land a role in the movie My Boyfriend’s Back, but her part was cut in the movie. Over time she worked on commercials, and small roles until she landed her big break.
3. Jackie Chan – $130 Million

Jackie Chan may be known for his high flying stunts and action scenes. However, Chan was an extra in two Bruce Lee movies. The first movie was the 1971 classic Fists of Fury and the second was Enter the Dragon.
2. George Clooney – $160 Million

George Clooney is one of Hollywood’s most powerful actors. He started acting in the 1970s as a background actor in 1978 miniseries about the economic growth of Colorado, and then Clooney landed small one-liners in cop dramas. Eventually he would land the role of a lifetime in ER.
1. Clint Eastwood – $375 Million

Clint Eastwood may make Oscar winning movies but, before he was charming audiences with his charm and filmmaking, Eastwood worked as a background extra with Central Casting. Eastwood got his start acting in the 1950’s with his work often going uncredited and even unnoticed. However, Eastwood didn’t let that hold him back. He would use his time on set networking with producers and directors, which made him more memorable with each extra role he had. Eventually, he moved up to speaking parts and a name on the movie. The same extra is now one of the most recognized and powerful actors in Hollywood.
Let’s Not Panic is an amazing short film that focuses on love during the apocalypse.
Heather Jack is on the fast track to become one of Hollywood’s biggest female directors. Her short film, ‘Let’s Not Panic’ was a hit during the Tribeca Film Festival in 2015. The movie focuses on a romance minutes before an asteroid is headed to New York City. And while the short film features all of the quirky trends of a typical romantic comedy, it still captures all of the necessary elements in a 10 minute short film that is funny, fun, and romantic.

The L.A. County Sherriff’s Department announced that they have opened an investigation in NBC reality series The Biggest Loser over possible illegal drug use on set of the hit weight loss series.
Authorities say the inquiry was sparked by an article posted on the Post last month, which acussed the reality show for allegedly encouraging contestants to take drugs and vomit. However, the police want to make it clear that this is not an investigation. “What we’re doing is an inquiry into what’s happening on The Biggest Loser,” a police spokesperson told the New York Post. “It’s an ‘inquiry,’ not a full-blown investigation.”
Season 2 contestant Suzanne Mendonca said five people on her edition of the show were rushed to the hospital due to alleged abuse from show trainers and medical staff.
Joelle Gwynn, from the 2008 “Couples” version of “Loser,” said she was directed to take ephedra, a drug used to boost weight loss and energy that was banned by the FDA in 2004.
The Biggest Loser’s producers called the allegations “without merit and false.” In a statement to Variety, personal trainer Bob Harper said “The safety and well-being of our contestants is, and has always been, paramount,” Harper said. “Contestants are told at the start of the show that there is zero tolerance for any weight loss drugs. We prohibit the use of any illegal substances, in addition to the many other rules and procedures of the show that are designed to ensure safety.”
However, former contestant Suzanne Mendonca has a different story. “People would take amphetamines, water pills, diuretics, and throw up in the bathroom,” Mendonca told the Post. “They would take their spin bikes into the steam room to work up a sweat. I vomited every single day. [Show trainer] Bob Harper tells people to throw up: ‘Good,’ he says. ‘You’ll lose more calories.’”
