He's saying that if you make a movie elsewhere, doesn't matter where the director is from, the movie will be taxed when shown in the US. Another way to stick it to the taxpayers.

I listened to a podcast with Adam Scott and Rob Lowe and was surprised to hear that for his game show The Floor, it is filmed in Ireland, because it's cheaper to fly 100 contestants to Ireland and house them there to film than it is to film on the Fox lot in CA.

That's...insane.

Where would Dune or Lord of the Rings been filmed?

LOTR was made by a NZ director! Why in the world shouldn't it have been made in NZ?

Pick a lane, sir.

Why does Trump even care about this? I guess because entertainment is one of the Christian Dominionist "Seven Mountains"?

It’s an attack on the first amendment.

Do you understand: this will not make it cheaper to film in the US. It will just make it more expensive to film in Ireland. Who do you think that helps? Do you think that leads to more of anything you want - or just less film and TV being made?

There is too much greed and overcharging in the US. Starting with real estate costs. Fix that and a lot of things will return.

Because the Supreme Orange Leader of the World says that he stole money from Americans by filming in New Zealand. It should have been filmed in America, or pay a 100% tariff fee for distribution in America.

It's cheaper to film outside of the US because other countries have lax laws re: labor.

It's all union here in the US and they have strict terms on hours and standards. Those don't exist outside of the US. It's the same reason why the US will never bring manufacturing back here: safety & regulations make it cost prohibitive. Plus, the US doesn't give out as many filming incentives as other countries.
