The Movie Tariffs? Looks like they came from Jon Voight (or at least he knew about them)

He’s one of Trump’s “Hollywood Ambassadors” along with Stallone and Mel Gibson.

State Sen. Ben Allen, a Los Angeles-area Democrat who is a key player in the tax credit negotiations, said he heard from Jon Voight, one of Trump’s appointed ambassadors to Hollywood, several days ago about the possibility of new tariffs.

A person close to the White House, granted anonymity to share details of internal conversations, also attributed the new tariff policy to Voight.

“To be honest, at first blush I generally see this as a positive development. Unlike a lot of the other items on Trump’s tariffs list, we know that TV and movies can be made 100% in the USA right now and at a very high caliber,” Allen said. “The key concern of course will be how this might affect U.S. movie sales around the world.”

6. Yeah but think about it, couldn't "Out of Africa" have been shot in Kansas?

Wheat fields.

They do this a lot with the Capital building in Richmond. It doubles as the White House in several movies even though it really doesn’t look anything like the White House other than being white.

Dave - Kevin Kline
GI Jane
even used it in Lincoln

A brief flash of the Capital and into interior scenes of a WH set.

10. The Civil War drama Cold Mountain

Had Romania Carpathian Mountains stand in for the Appalachian South. It looked friggin' inauthentic.

Cuts both ways.

9. They never stopped to think that other countries are going to retaliate and do the same to us. They buy our movies.

Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson and Jon Voight will never be welcome in Europe again it’s over for them there.

11. Gibson and Voight I get they are nutcases and racists

But I am very disappointed to have learned Stallone is MAGA through and through one of the most hardcore in fact. I will refuse to watch anything new with him in it as well. I still have not seen Hacksaw Ridge and will not.

12. Me too, I saw him in the movie "Cop Land" and I thought he was really developing his talent
