NEW YORK — Donald Trump called for Hollywood to be “bigger, wonderful, and stronger” and tossed Mel Gibson, Jon Voight, and Sylvester Stallone as stars of what he calls his “special ambassadors in a wonderful but very troubled place, Hollywoodarray California. “”
On Wednesday, the President-elect announced on his social media site that the three actors would be his eyes and ears to the moviemaking town.
“It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!” he wrote on Truth Social.
He also called the trio’s special envoys. Ambassadors and special envoys are selected to fill hot spots in difficulty such as the Middle East, not California.
Gibson declared in a press release that he had made the news “at the same time as all and so surprised. However, I need to call. My duty as a citizen is to provide help and a review that I can. “
Gibson, who lost his home in the Palisades fire, added: “Does any post come with an ambassador’s residence?”
The production of films and television of the USA has been hindered in recent years, with setbacks of the COVID-19 Pandemia, the 2023 Hollywood guild diving and, during beyond the week, forest fires in course in the Los Angeles area. In the United States, general production, general production fell by 26% compared to 2021, according to Produro’s knowledge.
In the Grand Los Angeles region, the productions fell 5. 6% compared to 2023 according to Filmla, the lowest since 2020. Last October, Governor Gavin Newsom proposed to be larger than the credits program in the fiscal tax and California television to $ 750 million consisting of the year. Other American cities such as Atlanta, New York, Chicago and San Francisco have used fiscal incentives to attract film and televised productions in their cities. Actor Mark Wahlberg even plans for a Middle production in Las Vegas.
It’s unclear what exactly Gibson, Voight and Stallone will be doing in this effort to bring productions back to the U.S. Representatives for Voight and Stallone did not immediately respond to request for comment.
Trump’s resolve to choose actors as his selected “ambassadors” underscores his considerations with the ’80s and ’90s, when he was a tabloid star in New York City, and Gibson and Stallone were among the world’s biggest movie stars.
Stallone is a frequent guest at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club and introduced him at a gala in November shortly after the election.
“When George Washington defended his country, he didn’t know it was going to replace the global one. Because without it, you can believe what the global would look like,” Stallone told the crowd: “Guess what?We were given the moment when George Washington. Hiring!”
The resolution also reflects Trump’s preference to forget the maximum debatable statements of his supporters.
Gibson’s reputation has been altered in Hollywood since 2006, when he went on an antisemitic rant while being arrested for allegedly driving under the influence. But he’s also continued to work in mainstream movies and directed the upcoming Wahlberg thriller “Flight Risk.”
Voight is a longtime Trump supporter who has called Trump the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln.
