re: #422 Naso Tang

Ok, that may be different, but honestly I still have my doubts on whether a 6 or 7 percent (is that right?) overhead on direct expenses (not salaries and the like) is going to be a business killer for that kind of operation if Colorado scenery is called for.

It’s simple… when you are spending 15 million dollars on a movie, 6-7 percent taxes, license fees, location fees, lodging taxes, special taxes and so on… come to a lot of money when you can get the same look and feel from ANY OTHER STATE AROUND US… Colorado is not so unique that New Mexico or Utah wouldn’t make a fine stand in.

When NBC’s 4 hour made for TV movie “Asteroid” was made in Denver, guess what, the movie didn’t even take place in Denver… it took place in Boulder, Kanas City and Dallas/Fort Worth… it’s you know… movie magic?

If Colorado scenery is called for, you can do it in Toronto if you have to…
