NY State & Western NY make making films very difficult and expensive from what I hear, and you have to think every politician in BFLO had their hands out-so the filmakers said-Screw it!Meanwhile Onatrio and Toronto have just blown up for city of choice for making movies.I havent read this article, but that sucks. I would have liked to see Buffalo and The Bills featured in a film, cements their legacy-good or bad...However- Kevin Costner just plain sucks. the guy peaked 20 years ago and he isnt a draw anymore. Im OK with Kevin Costner and Bruce Willis hanging it up and never seeing them in a film again-"It's Over Johnny!"

Makes sense to me. We're NY, you should pay extra to live and play here! :wallbash:

New York is ahead of the game on this one then.

 

Most of the cities that have done studies on whether offering up incentives for movies to film there don't end up creating the jobs or revenue to make it profitable (and it's not close. You end up paying for having the honor of them making money off a movie they shoot.
