After their global hit "Avengers: Endgame," the duo turned their attention to a movie adaptation of the novel "Cherry," by Clevelander Nico Walker. The brothers signed British actor Tom Holland to play the lead and were planning to start shooting the movie in Northeast Ohio in October. Anthony Russo said those plans recently fell through when the state legislature temporarily pulled the film tax credit out of the budget. When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?

It's up for debate how much or how little impact financially it would have had, but it's too bad a film that takes place in Cleveland won't be filmed here. Can't fault the filmmakers... the cost needs to be taken into consideration for them as well.

September 20, 20195 yr ^ did these get in before the tax credits were taken away? i can't imagine there will be much more film work in state until they put it back. i dk how much filming brings in as far as jobs and income, i have only read positives about that, but i don't really know for sure, but the pr alone has got to be worth something, so hopefully they do put back more permanent film business incentives.

September 26, 20195 yr Get ready everyone 'The Bachelor' is Filming an Upcoming Episode in Cleveland Next Month Posted By Laura Morrison on Wed, Sep 25, 2019 at 3:28 pm The upcoming season of The Bachelor is filming in Cleveland next month, the reality show insider blog Reality Steve reported. Slated to be the fourth episode of the season, the Cleveland taping apparently is set to include the Browns, (we're imagining Baker Mayfield tossing a football around with some of the contestants), and most likely some choice city locales. https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2019/09/25/the-bachelor-is-filming-an-upcoming-episode-in-cleveland-next-month

When Ohio was working on the budget, one chamber proposed removing the movie tax credits. The other chamber proposed increasing the movie tax credit. So when the Russo team was planning the movie shoot, they weren’t sure if the tax credit would be available. As a result they decided to move the shoot in LA. When the final budget was passed, it did include the movie tax credit (and added theater productions, yay!). Something must have changed on the film plan and since theOhio tax credits became available, the Russo brothers decided to move filming back to Cleveland again. they recently made a call for extras if anyone is interested. “Must look 18-35” iirc.

October 5, 20195 yr Good to hear. People dont realize this, but Cleveland is used for a lot of commercials. There are a lot of child actors here.
October 7, 20195 yr New national commercials (short/long play) for Safelight AutoGlass came out a few days ago. Most of the filming was done in Ohio City's Hingetown neighborhood where I ran into the film crew from Los Angeles at Rising Star Coffee. They said they were filming in Cleveland because of the lower cost and because the producer had done work here before. You'll probably recognize a few quick Cleveland scenes, especially in the longer version (second one)....

Author: Stephanie Haney (WKYC) Published: 3:52 PM EST January 20, 2020 Updated: 5:46 PM EST January 20, 2020 CLEVELAND — Cleveland just landed a sitcom coming to Amazon Prime Video in the fall, called "Making It… In Ohio," from creator Conrad Faraj of Conrad Studios in Avon. Faraj talked with 3News about the scripted show, which he describes as "Parks and Recreation meets Friends," born from his own experiences trying to "make it" in the entertainment industry. (Spoiler alert: Faraj has made it, and then some.) "We're taking a lot of our experiences as filmmakers throughout the last couple years, and doing it as a situational comedy, and it's going to be hilarious. And it's going to resonate with a lot of people trying to also break into the industry." https://www.wkyc.com/article/entertainment/television/programs/whats-new/making-it-in-ohio-is-a-new-sitcom-that-will-be-filmed-in-cleveland-and-air-on-amazon-prime-video/95-fe68acbb-1278-4ad6-bd52-684090fb2e18 Edited January 26, 20205 yr by MuRrAy HiLL

January 28, 20205 yr The city looked good. Neither of us could place that villa-style house where the last segment was shot. The actual show is complete piffle though and it was a reminder as to why we barely watch tv nowadays. My hovercraft is full of eels
