Makes perfect sense. Compare all the ways that Nevada is cheaper to work in than California. I can only imagine how the exodus of non-acting talent will rejoice to escape from the high cost of living and low quality of life in California.
$1.8B Sony movie studio backed by Mark Wahlberg approved for Summerlin
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if other studios follow suit. What also wouldn’t surprise me is if SONY begins dropping the ridiculous representation and inclusion standards for Oscars eligibility that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences requires for Oscars eligibility in the Best Picture category. After all, outside of California those standards might be considered racial discrimination.
But either way, whatever hastens the death of the Hollywood monopoly on cinema is a good thing in my book.
Now of course the hard-core Wokesters will bewail this abandonment of beloved Los Angeles but a lot of actors haven’t been getting those multimillion dollar paydays lately and secretly might consider moving to a cheaper locale a pretty good idea.
Well, baby steps.
Plus legal prostitution for workers if they feel so inclined.
It’s just about the same.
