I can't even think of any mainstream foreign films in the US except Parasite. Wtf is wrong with this man?

Lots of Hollywood films do their filming in Vancouver. It’s cheaper because our currency is worth less.

it would be hilarious if this was interpretted as excise taxes on foreign photography and outsourced portions of production, but i expect this just means foreign-produced, not where US produced films are made.

Hollywood has truly fallen if their lawyers cant wiggle out of this

It would be so funny if this somehow ends runaway production and everything just retracts back to the TMZ.

he's targeting American movies that film outside America. Dune was filmed in the UAE, The Matrix 4 in Germany, the Hunger Games prequel in Poland, Elvis in Australia, Avatar 2 in New Zealand, The Batman and countless marvel movies in the UK, etc.

Some anime movies make decent cash. I think the new Demon Slayer movie is doing pretty good, for instance.

I’m sure that’s true, I just wouldn’t really call it mainstream. But I guess I’ve underestimated how many domestic US movies are made elsewhere.

Snow Piercer too, which I admit is a very "country and western" sort of response.

It's not foreign films, but I guess just films with production outside of the United States? Most big productions will have shit made all over the world. How are they even going to enforce any of this lol
