But here's the twist: they've enlisted a league of Hollywood A-list actors to join their star-studded mission. Brace yourselves, folks, because Texas is about to unleash a blockbuster showdown!
Watch the video:
From BizPacReview:
Even films that are meant to be set in Texas are now filmed elsewhere, including in New Mexico, Louisiana, Georgia, and Oklahoma, taking thousands of jobs for electricians, carpenters, drivers, makeup artists, hair stylists, “and countless other Texas-based workers” with them.
Quaid appeared on Fox News’s “Jesse Watters Primetime” to discuss the “more business-friendly” legislation in the Texas State House that aims to take film funding from $40 million and boost it, potentially, to $300 million.
“We want to make Texas the film capital of the world,” Quaid told Watters. “That’s what Texas used to really have – a great film incentive program and a great film crew base. About nine or 10 years ago, I made some great movies there and [I] love working there.”
The actor can’t say the same about working in California.
“I can’t remember the last time I made a film in California, to tell you the truth,” he said. “You know, they still do their game shows there and talk shows and stuff…everybody films in Georgia or Oklahoma or whatever – because it doesn’t matter where it’s supposed to take place cause – it’s cheaper.”
It's downright absurd that movies meant to capture the essence of Texas are gallivanting off to other locales.
With a little luck, we'll witness a glorious migration of movie productions, bidding farewell to Tinsel Town and embracing the vast wonders of the Lone Star State.
Get ready for lights, camera, and a Texas-sized spectacle that'll leave you breathless!
