NEW YORK — Donald Trump wants to make Hollywood “bigger, better and stronger” and has cast Mel Gibson, Jon Voight and Sylvester Stallone as stars of what he is calling his “Special Ambassadors to a great but very troubled place, Hollywood, 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 Hollywood Golden Age!” He wrote in 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.
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, “Any chance the position comes with an Ambassador’s residence?”
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 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 resolution to choose the actors, while their selected “ambassadors” underline their considerations with the 80s and 90s, while it was a sensationalist star in New York, and Gibson and Stallone were among the largest stars cinema of the world.
Stallone is a common guest at Trump’s Mar-A-Lago Club and was presented by a gala in November in a while after the elections.
“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 for forgetting the questionable maxim 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 former Trump supporter who has Trump the former president from Abraham Lincoln.
