More Than Just Stars Shooting the Breeze in Tinseltown
Potential TV Locales: Paris or Pasadena - Decision Influenced by Trump's Tariff Strategy
Hey there! Let's delve into this intriguing blend of emissaries, Hollywood, and the film industry – no bull!
You've probably heard of Jon Voight, the dude who starred in the classic, groundbreaking movie "Midnight Cowboy." Well, he recently huddled up with President Trump, not for a friendly chat, but as one of Trump's representatives (emissaries, if you will) to Hollywood. Their discussion focused on the troubles affecting the movies scene, such as the runaway production problem, where films are shot outside the U.S. due to alluring incentives offered at foreign locations[1].
Now, speaking of incentives, the domestic film industry is battling against generous cash-flowing programs from other countries, leading to less dough spent on flicks and series within the USA. Top contenders for film production include Toronto, Vancouver, the U.K., central Europe, and Australia, all boasting more tempting incentives to lure American productions[1].
But hold up, "Midnight Cowboy" isn't directly tied to these juicy incentives or the emissaries specially introduced to trumpet these enticing offers in Hollywood. Instead, they're more like industry ambassadors trying to tackle broader challenges rather than promoting specific films[2]. No fuss about "Midnight Cowboy" here, just Hollywood's role on the global stage. That's the story, brah!
