Rob Lowe blasted California and the Los Angeles leadership of how expensive state film and television production have received. The actor and “literally!” Podcast -host insisted that “everyone” involved in the production excursion to foreign production hubs such as Dublin, Ireland (where his own “The Floor” films) should lose their jobs.
“There are no tax credits, such as all these other places offer 40% – 40%. And then there are other things they do, “Lowe said in conversations with their previous” Parks and Recreation “co -star Adam Scott earlier this month.” And then it doesn’t even talk about trade unions. It’s just tax, finances of everything, so it’s criminal what California and LA have let it happen – it’s criminal. Everyone should be dismissed. “
The conversation occurred after Lowe shared where he films his Fox Game show, which caused podcast values to give their two cents about Hollywood’s situation in terms of Production leaving the one -time hub for other states and countries For better tax incentives, talent pools and more.
“It’s cheaper to pass 100 American people to Ireland than to cross the party, Fox, past the sound steps and do that,” Lowe said about “the floor.”

“Do you think that if we shot” Parker “right now, would we be in Budapest?” Scott questioned.
“One hundred percent we would be. We would be in Budapest,” Lowe replied.
“It’s so strange, there’s nothing, nothing shoots in Los Angeles,” Scott added.
“Nothing, nothing. I had one – my next show already done, scripts, offers closed,” Lowe said. “And they said we shoot this in New York, and I said I don’t move to New York to do this, and it disappeared. The show is done; I don’t.”
Later, Scott reflected on his time shooting 2009 NBC -Sitcom, and detailed how Radford Studio Center in Studio City used to be a lively and lively scene compared to what he sees today.
March 19, a week after this section of “Literally!” first aired, California’s Film Commission Approved 51 films for tax incentives Through the State film and tax credit program, what is now registered as the most that has ever been approved in a single application window.
Back in February, California legislators and Senate introduced to expand Golden State’s film and television tax credit program, and it has been an ongoing film and TV production campaign to bring projects back to Los Angeles in the wake of La Wildfires.
