US EditionJon Voight Plan to Fix Hollywood Includes Incentives for Cinemas
- Jon Voight, appointed as a Trump administration special ambassador to Hollywood, has been meeting unions and studio executives in 2025 to address U.S. Production decline.
- Voight's outreach follows concerns over runaway production shifting film and TV projects abroad despite various state incentives, with a federal tax incentive proposed to counter this trend.
- His strategy features federal tax incentives, adjustments to tax laws, agreements facilitating joint productions, and financial support for infrastructure, with tariffs on foreign-made productions proposed in select situations.

- The White House is reviewing Voight's proposals, but insiders remain skeptical about swift federal action despite strong support from California workers who sent over 100,000 letters backing industry incentives.
