One of Las Vegas’s more famous residents is aiming to work closer to home.Actor Mark Wahlberg lobbied Nevada state lawmakers Wednesday to pass a bill that would coax more film production to Las Vegas.“I would love to see us building studios, creating jobs and just diversifying the economy,” Wahlberg told CNBC in an interview outside the Nevada Legislature. “I’ve moved my last film here. I’m shooting another film here coming up in the summertime.”Nevada state lawmakers are set to vote on a bill that would increase tax credits for film production from $10 million to a whopping $190 million annually over the next 20 years.“I think there’s so much more opportunity to be created here. There’s so much growth and so much potential, it’s a wonderful opportunity for everybody to prosper,” Wahlberg said.Proponents of the bill point to Georgia’s tax incentives, which have helped double the state’s film industry jobs since 2011.https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/01/mark-wahlberg-lobbies-to-make-las-vegas-hollywood-in-the-desert.html?utm_source=briefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=entertainment_am&utm_content=060223 (ICE LOS ANGELES)
