Ryan Reynolds was shocked at the Easter eggs Disney let him slip into Free Guy

👀 👇

It might just be a persona, but it seems like Ryan Reynolds is always trying to get one over on his cinematic overlords. As Deadpool, he threw jabs at Fox, Disney, and Marvel—and often, especially in promotional material, the lines of what’s be said by Reynolds’ character and what’s being sa...

Taxes, not stars, permanent goal of film-tax credit

According to an economic analysis by Industrial Economics Inc., the first season of “Castle Rock” created 1,026 full-time equivalent jobs during its 12 months of production. For each $1 spent by the production of “Castle Rock,” the analysis found the show generated $1.64 of economic activity in Massachusetts, or in the range of $69 million. A total of 210 towns and cities in the state received spending from the production.

That’s the sort of permanent job presence this permanent tax credit will help ensure.

With extension of film tax credit in Massachusetts, it’s the movie industry cheering

Our GM, Gary Crossen was interviewed for this piece on the film tax incentives in the Lowell Sun:

The fate of the 15-year incentive program, set to expire on Jan. 1, 2023, was up in the air this year, but was decided on Friday, when Gov. Charlie Baker signed a fiscal year 2022 state budget recently approved by the Legislature.

“I’m pretty confident because at the end of the day, it’s all about jobs, it’s all about Massachusetts jobs, and I don’t think the governor is against job growth,” Crossen said last week as the incentive’s fate remained in doubt. “Every year there’s been job growth in the industry. Now we are a 365-days-a-year business, basically.”

DEVENS — One of the charms of “The Fighter” for Lowell area residents is seeing city landscapes throughout the award-winning 2010 film about the life of former world boxing champion Micky War…

We say a big Thank You to our legislators and to Governor Charlie Baker for passing a State Budget that makes the film incentive permanent.

This will ensure that thousands of families and small businesses supported by the growing film and television industry can continue to live and work in Massachusetts.

Thank you!

Thank you to State Representative Dan Sena and members of the House for voting yes on amendment 413 today! Your hard work has provided jobs and stability for thousands of people across the Commonwealth who benefit as employees, service providers, and suppliers to this innovative and growing industry.

Glad to join with my House colleagues in voting yes on budget amendment 413 to remove the sunset for the Film Tax Credit today. So many constituents have shared the importance of this tax credit to them and their livelihoods, and to the whole state of Massachusetts - it's one of the top 5 issues I have been contacted about since last June! Extra important with New England Studios operating right here in Devens in the 37th Middlesex District.

It gives an overall economic impact for all the cities and towns and the state as a whole.”

Cities want Hollywood to choose their area to film as it can increase tourism and its economy. Here are notable filming locations in the South Coast.
