The president chose Donald Trump to make Hollywood “bigger, bigger, and stronger” and tossed Mel Gibson, Jon Voight, and Sylvester Stallone as stars of what he calls his “special ambassadors in a giant but very disturbed place, Hollywoodarray and California.
On Wednesday, the president -elect announced on his social networks that the 3 actors would be his eyes and ears for the city of cinema.
“It will be again, like the United States of America, the Golden Age of Hollywood!”He wrote on Truth Social.
He also called the special envoys of the trio. Special ambassadors and envoys are selected to meet the hot points in difficulty such as the Middle East, not in California.
In a press release provided to CBS News on Thursday, Gibson said that “I had received the tweet at the same time as all and so surprised. However, I have the call. My duty as a citizen is to give help and review that I can.
Gibson’s Malibu home was destroyed in the wildfires which scorched the Los Angeles area.
U.S. film and television production has been hampered in recent years, with setbacks from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hollywood guild strikes of 2023 and, in the past week, the ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area. Overall production in the U.S. was down 26% from 2021, according to data from ProdPro.
In the largest area in Los Angeles, the productions decreased 5. 6% compared to 2023 according to Filmla, the lowest since 2020. October, the governor of California Gavin Newsom proposed to expand the Program for Fiscal and Television Fiscal Credits of Film and Television of California at $ 750 million a year, up to $ 330 of $ 330 million. Other American cities such as Atlanta, New York, Chicago and San Francisco have used fiscal incentives to attract films and television productions to their cities. Actor Mark Wahlberg is even making plans for a Las Vegas production center.
We don’t know precisely what Gibson, Voight and Stallone will do in this effort to bring productions to U. S. representatives for the U. S.
Trump’s resolution to choose the actors as their selected “ambassadors” underlines their considerations with the 80s and 90s, when it was an emerging sensational star in New York City, and Gibson and Stallone were among the most movie stars Greats of the world.
Stallone is a regular guest at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club and brought him to a gala in November at a time after the election.
“When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was going to change the world. Because without him, you could imagine what the world would look like,” Stallone told the crowd. “Guess what? We got the second George Washington. Congratulations!”
The resolution also reflects Trump’s will to the maximum debatable statements of his supporters.
Gibson’s reputation has changed in Hollywood since 2006, when he made an anti-Semitic statement when he arrested for allegedly performing under the influence. But he also continued paintings in client films and made Wahlberg’s upcoming “risk of risk” thriller.
Voight is a longtime Trump supporter who has called Trump the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln.
