Trump’s 100% Tariff on Movies: 8 Key Questions the Industry Is Now Pondering and Dreading

After Trump promised a 100% tariff on "any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands," industry figures are frantically trying to come to grips with how the proposal could possibly work.

The Guardian:

The Australian government says it will stand up for the country’s film industry, in response to Donald Trump’s 100% tariffs on film productions made outside the US.

Australia is such a popular location for foreign film productions, it is sometimes dubbed “Hollywood Down Under” with recent large-scale productions including The Fall Guy, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and Thor: Ragnarok.

The government’s location offset scheme offers a 30% rebate for big-budget film projects shot in Australia, with additional post-production rebates, and state governments offering further sweeteners.

But the imposition of tariffs could mean these incentives are no longer attractive enough for productions aimed at the massive US market.

Trump’s move will send shock waves through the industry globally, according to industry peak body Screen Producers Australia (SPA).

“At this stage, it is unclear what this announcement means in practice or how it will be applied and implemented”, said the SPA chief executive, Matthew Deaner.

Dame Caroline Dinenage is a member of the right-leaning Conservative opposition party who chairs the UK parliament’s culture committee. She said members of the committee had warned “against complacency on our status as the Hollywood of Europe” in their report on British film and high-end TV, published last month.

She added:

President Trump’s announcement has made that warning all too real. Making it more difficult to make films in the UK is not in the interests of American businesses. Their investment in facilities and talent in the UK, based on US-owned IP (intellectual property), is showing fantastic returns on both sides of the Atlantic. Ministers must urgently prioritise this as part of the trade negotiations currently under way.

So, is the idea here that Australian, German, British, French, etc filmmakers will start filing their movies in the USA?
Prime example of Trump not having any strategy or goals with these stupid tariffs.
 
It will work out just fine because the Trump Administration is closing our national parks to visitors and will open them up for filmmakers (or at least those directors who don’t mind having oil wells or strip mines visible in their shots.)
 
and the beat goes on... and off...and on... and off...and on

Google translate is your friend. We have Autobahn in every state in the US, it means highway in English.

And don't fool yourself that the German Autobahns have no speed limits. They do within a few kilometers of each city.
