Event's director hopes initiative will revive La as a go-to location and result in a new clutch of classic movies
When Hollywood reigned supreme in the film industry, movie buffs were frequently able to spot characteristic landmarks of Los Angeles on the big screen.
From the distinctive boulevard palms in Beverly Hills Cop to the Green Harbour bridge for the bungee jump in To Live and Die in La and the compelling backdrop for Chinatown, the city made its mark on the movies. Now, with the industry shrinking and studios moving to countries with bigger subsidies and incentives for film-making, Hollywood's attention is returning home.

Related: California Pols Unveiling Bill Today To Expand Film & TV Tax Credit Program Just hours after a new multi-sponsored bill to expand California’s current $100 million Film and TV Tax Credit program was introduced today in Sacramento both the state’s Production Alliance and La Mayor Eric Garcetti have come out in strong support. Garcetti, who formed the city’s Entertainment Industry and Production office last year and vowed to “storm” the state capitol to improve the state’s incentives, praised “Assemblymembers Gatto and Bocanegra for taking the lead on enhancing this important program.” The Alliance, which includes the MPAA, SAG-aftra and the Teamsters, said that it “welcomed the introduction of Ab 1839.” While the new bill seeks to let blockbusters and network TV shows now be eligible for the lottery rewarded program, no actual figure has been given yet – though as Deadline’s scoop on the bill this morning said,...

Colin Trevorrow (@colintrevorrow) February 4, 2014 On the spectrum of attractiveness, Jeff Goldblum exists somewhere between drop dead late 80s, early 90s sexiness and off-putting weirdness. Depending on the angle, he.s either the type of dude who would watch you poop or the type of lumbering, shirtless hero who would save your life. As for what he is in the above picture, well, that.s for you to decide. The hilarious image was tweeted by Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow, and it was labeled "Production Office". As you can tell, it features Goldblum, in all his hairy glory, with a look on his face that says, "I.m watching over this production. Under my watch, life will uhhhhhhhhhhh find a way."

Exclusive: The former AMPAS president said last month that he was going to bring a high-profile industry individual on board at City Hall as his “consigliere” – and now he has. Former Motion Picture Association of America president Bob Pisano will serve as an informal advisor to Tom Sherak in the city’s Entertainment Industry and Production office, I’ve learned. Pisano’s primary role will be to help Sherak put together an informal committee to come up with proposals for City Hall and the State legislature to increase production in La. Pisano stepped down as interim CEO of the MPAA in the fall of 2011 after former Senator Chris Dodd was named CEO and Chairman of the lobby group. Before that Pisano had been the President and COO of the MPAA. The former studio exec and SAG National Executive Director had held that role since 2005. Pisano is currently the chairman of...
