I can’t wait for the gambling scene in a glamorous casino outside Branson Missouri.

That would be pretty good if Bond had a Kentucky accent.

They could film it on sets, like they did with the original "moon landing".

Stanley was a good director but forgot to put stars in the background.

Where he orders a White Claw, neither shaken nor stirred.

Have you been watching the current season of Righteous Gemstones? There's a scene with a White Claw that's pretty funny.

I think we're probably not allowed to quote it, lol. Season 4 wasn't as funny overall, but had some moments that were amazing.

Most of the series "The X Files" was filmed in BC, they even painted a rock quarry red to simulate Arizona. Even the movie "First Blood" was filmed in Hope, BC in the early 1980s. It's nothing new. "Star Wars" a uniquely American blockbuster. Filmed in Tunisia, The United Kingdom, The United States, Guatemala and possibly more.

yeah x-files came to mind also, stargate tv series, most/all cw shows, especially arrowverrse, dead like me, macgyver, and movie, a-team :> I remember laughing with a-team as they did a good job cgi'ing stuff out, but at one point they left the reflections in and could clearly see big landmarks of vancouver BC.

Way more stuff, just the ones I've noticed and come to mind.

I can't find numbers, but I would bet, it's canada, particularly toronto and BC, it's like a whers waldo any time I watch a US movie/show and see something canadian, was watching tv show psych other day, set in LA I think it was, and they didn't even TRY to hide the, "BC ferries." on the side of a ferry.

Thanks. I found the numbers. And by far most movies are still made in the US.

I think Trump's fixation on foreign produced movies goes back to when he was president last time and had a tissyfit when the South Korea Movie Parasite swept the Oscars. Kind of like his desire to reopen Alcatraz, "Donald Trump Wants to Reopen Alcatraz — After Watching ‘Escape From Alcatraz’ on TV. He just isn't the deep thinker.

Trump must hate me. Most stuff I watch on Netflix is Korean and Japanese. Physical 100, Alice in Borderland, The Secret Forest, Itaewon Class, Law School, D.P. , Culinary Class War, Sanctuary, Rugal, Rugged Rugby, Kingdom, etc.

But there's Brooklyn 99.

NINE NINEEEE!

They filmed one of the Superman movies in Sydney many years ago. I guess it looks like someone's idea of Metropolis. had to go to into work in the city on Sunday for a couple of hours to do some paperwork. The street was blocked off for some reason, so I drove in the back entrance. When I was leaving, I passed through the foyer and there was this American cop standing outside. What the..? I went out and there were dozens of people standing around, cars all over the road and a couple of cranes about 200m apart with a cable running between them.

I was talking to one of the extras about the whole set up. She and dozens others were getting a reasonable days wage for hanging around for hours just waiting for this one shot. Which then happened. There was a shout of 'Cameras rolling, stand by' and I asked what was going to happen. The camera would rip along the cable and they'd superimpose the man of steel into the frame later. So I stood there and did my best 'Look. Up there! Is it a bird? Is it a plane?'

I hired the DVD when the film came out and that shot lasted less than 2 seconds. It must have cost a fortune. Unfortunately it happened way to quickly for me to be able to pick myself out. But I'm in there somewhere!

The thing with Kubrick is, he's such a perfectionist, he demanded that they film the fake moon landing on the actual location.

-- A2SG, and it only took 300 takes.....

How difficult would it be to get him to watch West Wing to give him an idea of what's expected of a president?

Right. But I think his handlers realize they won't be able to have the content control they want in movies produced outside the US. MAGA!

I'd settle for House of Cards.

Propaganda.

When it comes to propaganda films, it doesn't matter where it is filmed. Who produced the film is what matters.

(The Borowitz Report)—Offering an explanation for his sweeping tariffs on foreign films, on Tuesday Donald J. Trump argued that movies with subtitles “encourage reading.”

“Parents think their kids are safely at the movies, not spending two hours reading,” he said. “This should never be allowed to happen in our country.”

"President Trump has correctly recognized that the American film and television industry faces an urgent threat from international competition. Foreign governments have successfully lured film and television productions, and the multitude of jobs they create, away from the United States with aggressive tax incentives and subsidies. Films intended for initial release in the U.S. are increasingly being shot overseas — and American workers and our economy are paying the price.

In just two years, IATSE members have lost tens of thousands of jobs across the United States. That’s thousands of families, small businesses, and communities across the country feeling the economic hardship of a shrinking industry."

No doubt. There's the carrot of tax incentives and subsidies. Then there's the hammer of tariffs which to Trump is the answer for any and all problems. One measure proves effective. The other half thought out just turns out to be a quagmire. We just needed smarter people redressing issues of concern.
