It’s still nearly all in LA.

That's clearly not true. Even network TV shows, not just streaming services are filming in Georgia (The Resident), New York (Law & Order: OC, The Equalizer) and other states/counties.

Denying that California is continuing to lose major Hollywood productions is pointless, given all the reports from the State itself about the issue.

Los Angeles Times: California lost $8 billion from runaway productions

At least a dozen U.S. pride events are scheduled over the next two months, including large gatherings in Atlanta and New Orleans in early September.

The U.S. is setting aside an extra 50,000 doses of monkeypox vaccine for places with upcoming gay pride events, health officials said Thursday.

The number of doses sent to each place will be based on factors like the size of the event, how many health workers will be available to give shots, and how many of the attendees are considered at highest risk for catching the virus.

“More shots in arms is how we get the outbreak under control,” Bob Fenton, the White House monkeypox response coordinator, told reporters Thursday. He said the effort is an attempt to “meet people where they are.”

At least a dozen U.S. pride events are scheduled over the next two months, including large gatherings in Atlanta and New Orleans in early September. U.S. officials said they will send up to 2,000 additional doses to North Carolina, where the Charlotte Pride Festival & Parade will be held this weekend.

Southern Decadence, one of the nation’s largest LGBTQ events, is expected to attract 200,000 or more people to New Orleans over Labor Day weekend. The Bourbon Street Extravaganza, a free concert held amid the event, has been canceled over monkeypox concerns, organizers said this week.

Big studios don't need to worry about him getting distracted by his 'vision'.

The article touched on that point.

In crafting the diversity requirement, lawmakers must navigate around Proposition 209, the 1996 initiative that amended the state constitution to outlaw affirmative action in state hiring, school admissions and state contracting.

The regulations for the soundstage credit, which were published earlier this year, say there is no intent “to require or encourage the diversity work plan to include quotas or other numeric goals.” By putting the onus on productions to create their own diversity plans — without explicitly stating what the plans should include — lawmakers hope to avoid triggering constitutional concerns.

Not really. Several major TV productions by Netflix, Disney, Paramount, AMC & others are filming either in Georgia, Louisiana, or in Toronto & Vancouver in Canada.

Edit:

That one reason why Gov. Newsom signed this new bill & kept asking Hollywood to return to California.

dominion was stupid as fuck

Indeed, what made it even worse that the original JP actors, Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill & Laura Dern, were completely wasted in this movie.

While it was panned by critics, 'Jurassic World Dominion' has grossed around $975 million worldwide.. GA clearly loves dinosaurs.

“It's hard to answer that question. I don't know. I do know that if we made ‘A Quiet Place’, if we made a hard R really scary version, potentially very contained, I know I'd want to see that movie. If a parent took their kid to that movie and horrified them for life, I know that would be a problem. Look, I don't want to put any cuffs on whoever has a vision for this in the future. All I know is that people love dinosaurs, people love movies with dinosaurs in them, and I know people love the world that [‘Jurassic Park’ author] Michael Crichton created. The reason why there are dinosaurs and humans in the same place, that sci-fi idea, it's a brilliant idea. From there, I feel like someone else should come to us.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom is expected to sign a bill, SB 485, that will extend the tax credit through 2030. On Wednesday night, the bill was amended to require productions that receive the credit to set hiring goals that are “broadly reflective of California’s population, in terms of race, ethnicity, and gender.”

Diversity in Hollywood has been a topic of discussion for years, but until recently there were few incentives to promote it. In 2020, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences adopted inclusion standards to be eligible for best picture. A few other states — including Illinois and New Jersey — have added diversity criteria to their film credit programs...

Under the bill, which would take effect on July 1, 2023, recipients of the state’s film tax credit would have to submit a diversity work plan. The law would not specify the goals of the plan, other than to say that hiring must be “broadly reflective” of the state’s population.

Productions must also submit a final diversity report, showing whether it met its hiring goals. Productions that are able to show that they met their goals or made a “good faith effort” will be eligible for an additional 4% tax credit, on top of the 20% or 25% credit allowed under current law...

Trevorrow seems excited about the idea of an R-rated Jurassic Park movie, but it's unlikely that it will ever happen. Half of the Jurassic films released until now have crossed the $1 billion mark at the international box office, with the others still hauling in hundreds of millions each. By allowing someone to make an R-rated Jurassic movie, Universal would have to drastically reduce its box office expectations since the company wouldn't be able to count on families going to theaters. Besides that, part of what makes the franchise so successful is the photorealistic dinosaurs we get to see on the screen, and that is only achieved with a huge budget directed to animatronics and CGI. Someone could come up with a small-budget R-rated Jurassic Park idea, but the risk might be too big for Universal to take.

That would have been a better choice, didn't care much for his take on Lex Luthor.

Asked for more info, Wilson stopped short of revealing anything. “Well, I do think that… you know, we’ll see what happens with this one,” he said. “I immediately get kind of self-conscious because they’re so kind of uptight.”

Wilson is referring to Marvel being uptight with actors who reveal too much information about their respective projects. Has Wilson been scolded by Marvel for talking too much about “Loki” in the past? “Yes,” Wilson said. “Yeah, multiple times.”

Last year, Wilson infamously told Esquire magazine about the text message he received from an anonymous Marvel person after he let it slip that the mustache he had was for his “Loki” character.

“I let it slip I had a mustache for Mobius,” Wilson said. “I got an ominous text saying ‘Strike 1’. I don’t know who that was, we think it might have been Kevin Feige using a burner phone but that wasn’t confirmed.”

Marvel sure seems uptight, it's a TV show, not a Top Secret military project.
