@wkrntv: For years, Nashville has been well-known for amazing talent and artists. But could Music City soon become “entertainment city?” Politico reports Nashville is one of three spots Paramount is considering if they do in fact leave California. “Tennessee, Nashville especially used to be Music City, but in the last maybe ten years, a lot of creatives from Los Angeles and New York and from around the country have moved to Nashville,” Nashville Film Institute founder Prema Thiagarajah said. According to Politico, sources close to Paramount said they’ve inquired about a 400,000 square foot space, in addition to reaching out to two developers about acreage just outside of downtown Nashville. That’s in addition to spots they’ve been eyeing in Texas and Georgia. Read more by Nikki McGee at WKRN.com.

The movie industry is moving to Germany and Canada for cheaper production, and affordable healthcare, they even left the Georgia movie industry ( Marvel )because of the high cost of healthcare that was causing high production cost. So maybe Paramount is looking for some free money or something from the state and local government ???

as someone who watched this happen to Atlanta, it was a nightmare. they want to move in and get tax breaks, they will set up tons of studios and jobs and then when they find a cheaper place they will pack uo and move and leave the economy in tatters
