A judge has dismissed Graham Hicks' suit against the City of Atlanta for denying him a filming permit. Hicks claimed he was denied because of trumped up allegations, discrimination, and bias that he is filming a porno. Hicks applied six months ago for a permit which would require shutting down all of I-285 for his self funded film "In the Company of Men."
A spokes person for Atlanta said they turned down the permit because it was absurd and there was no practical way to shut down the entire I-285 beltway and said they have no idea what the movie is about. They went on to describe the lawsuit as a waste of taxpayers' money and the courts time.
Graham Hicks, who filed the motion himself, on behalf of himself, included a draft of the script in the suit and it is currently being mocked on r/movies and r/law. He claims the script is loosely based on his real life experiences as a special opts field agent when he was left for dead in Laos. A GoFundMe was started by several people on reddit which has earned $27 so far.
