        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

      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.

      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

        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.
