Studio Tug-of-War Shaped Supergirl’s Theatrical Run

THR reports that Supergirl’s rocky release stemmed from creative clashes between director Craig Gillespie and James Gunn, plus post-production tweaks and two competing cuts; Warner Bros. released Gunn’s version after a test that favored it overall, while Gillespie’s longer cut wasn’t re-tested. The result contributed to a disappointing opening, and DC Studios is adjusting its slate with projects like Clayface and Man of Tomorrow, while Gunn’s influence persists through spin-offs such as DC Crime and Mr. Terrific.

Hollywood Production Drifts Abroad as LA Costs Rise

Hollywood Production Drifts Abroad as LA Costs Rise

Hollywood’s status as the global hub for film and TV is being tested as production exits Los Angeles due to higher costs, labor rules, and permitting hurdles. Global and domestic competitors—Britain, Canada, Romania, and U.S. states like Georgia—offer more generous incentives, prompting a long-running shift in where movies and shows are made. Lawmakers are weighing federal subsidies to keep U.S. projects from moving overseas, while California struggles to modernize its incentives and reduce costs in a bid to preserve its industry. Despite the pressures, LA remains the largest production center, with some high-profile shows still choosing to shoot there when talent and arrangements justify the expense.

How Top Gun Took Flight: The 40-Year Making of a Blockbuster

Forty years after its 1986 release, Top Gun’s creation is recapped: producers bought the rights after a Star Wars-on-Earth magazine feature, won Pentagon backing for real flights, cast Tom Cruise after a Blue Angels ride, and built Maverick around internal rivalry and Goose’s death, balancing breathtaking aerial sequences with an emotional core; the film boosted Cruise’s stardom and Navy recruitment, spawned a 2022 sequel, and set the stage for a third installment.

Rob Lowe Urges a LA Film Comeback, Blaming Tax-Credit Gaps

Rob Lowe says it’s “criminal” that Los Angeles has ceded much of film and TV production to other states and countries, blaming the lack of above-the-line tax credits that reward salaries for actors, writers and directors. He notes other places offer incentives that attract big shows, though California has begun improving its incentives. Lowe was able to stay in LA to shoot his Sundance-released film The Musical, illustrating how incentives influence where filming happens.
