Hollywood Continues to Flee California at Alarming Rate | Variety
Funny how Hollywood likes them if they are for them, and weird how they want to leave California, I wonder why???? hmmmmmm
Steve Dayan, who serves as vice chairman of the state film commission and secretary-treasurer of Local 399 of the Intl. Brotherhood of Teamsters, spoke at the Feb. 22 labor rally, promising his union would be willing to repeat its 1999 action of encircling the State Capitol in Sacramento with 200 Teamster trucks a tactic used to campaign for incentives. We are not going to let other states poach our jobs, he said, evoking loud applause from the 700-plus attendees.
typical labor response......they have no clue....
but wait, here's an answer....
Dayan admits that producers have been substituting locations for as long as films have been shot. Downtown L.A. has been used for New York City many times, he said. But he noted that production costs on big features are now so high that its impossible for producers to shoot in town
Dam...production costs are too high....hmmmmmmmm
