California's film tax credit boost officially signed into law to lure back Hollywood jobs

Los Angeles TimesWednesday, July 2, 2025 at 7:25:28 PM
California is doubling down on its efforts to keep Hollywood productions local. Governor Gavin Newsom just signed a law expanding the state’s film and TV tax credit program, which dangles financial incentives to stop studios from fleeing to cheaper states like Georgia or New Mexico. After nine months of debate, the boost is official—meaning more cash for productions that shoot in California, ideally saving jobs and boosting the local economy.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about blockbuster budgets—it’s a jobs play. For years, California’s high costs have driven productions elsewhere, taking crew paychecks and local business revenue with them. The state’s betting that sweetening the deal will keep cameras rolling at home. Whether it works depends on if studios bite, but for now, it’s a win for Hollywood’s hometown pride.

The “Squid Game” Cast Discussed The Wildest Plot Twists, Fan Theories, And More In A Puppy Interview
positiveEntertainment
The cast of Squid Game sat down for a hilariously chaotic interview—with puppies stealing the show. They dished on wild plot twists, fan theories, and even joked about bringing the pups into the deadly games. It’s a fun, lighthearted break from the show’s grim tone.
Editor’s Note: Even though Squid Game is known for its brutal survival drama, this playful interview reminds us that the cast (and some adorable dogs) can bring humor and warmth to the conversation. It’s a clever way to keep fans engaged while waiting for the next season.
Glenn Howerton Almost Quit ‘It’s Always Sunny’ Over Fears The Show “Peaked”
neutralEntertainment
Glenn Howerton, who plays the hilariously awful Dennis Reynolds on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, almost walked away from the show because he feared it had "peaked" and might overstay its welcome. After 20 seasons (and counting), the actor admitted to worrying that the gang’s antics at Paddy’s Pub could lose their edge—but clearly, fans and the creative team convinced him otherwise.
Editor’s Note: Even long-running hits aren’t immune to self-doubt. Howerton’s hesitation reflects the pressure of keeping a cult comedy fresh after two decades—something few shows manage. For fans, it’s a peek behind the curtain at how much the cast cares about not just cashing checks, but delivering the chaos we love.
Fans call Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Ta Ra Rum Pum’ as their ‘F1’
positiveEntertainment
Fans are hilariously dubbing Saif Ali Khan's 2007 racing drama Ta Ra Rum Pum as Bollywood’s answer to Brad Pitt’s new F1 film, flooding social media with memes and nostalgia. Director Siddharth Anand, amused by the comparisons, confirmed the buzz but gently shut down hopes for a sequel—he’s busy prepping King with Shah Rukh Khan.
Editor’s Note: This lighthearted moment shows how audiences love connecting old favorites to new trends, even if it’s just for laughs. It’s a fun reminder of how films can resurface in pop culture years later—and why studios might want to listen when fans demand re-releases.

Editor’s Note: Oasis reuniting (even if it's just for a tour) is a big deal—it's like the Beatles of the '90s getting back together. Cardiff landing the opener adds local pride to the mix, and for music lovers, it’s a rare opportunity to catch a legendary band live. Whether you're in it for the singalongs or the cultural moment, this one’s worth paying attention to.
