Yet another deal is made to build major film & TV studios in Massachusetts!
Read about it here.
I posted a while ago about the one in Plymouth, MA. The latest on that is here. The project was given preliminary approval at a town meeting in October. |

Wow— I wonder if they'll actually start casting people from around here?

Congrats! I hope the region avoids the tax-incentive pitfalls that we've suffered here in the Lone Star state, so that the studio --- along with local actors and crew --- can keep working.

We're enjoying a nice run here in Hollywood South. They've built some facilities, but most post production is still out of state. In the northern part of the state, we have varied terrain & city streets that have doubled for all kinds of places. Weather-wise, they can pretty much shoot exteriors year-round. 'Cept the poor cast may wish they didn't. Ask John Goodman about wearing that Santa suit in JULY in Natchitoches!
We're looking over our shoulder at Michigan. I guess we'd better keep an eye out for you guys in MA, too! The states are already "competing for the jobs." All we need is to have each state pay a yearly fee...and... !

Utah only has 27 films scheduled to shoot here in the first quarter of 2009. Guess we are just falling down on the job. Speaking of jobs, only about 10% of the crew comes from the state, and less than 3% of the talent.
Congrat's to Mass. and thanks for the update Mary.
