Spoiler alert: it’s not good!
100% TARIFF THREAT LOOMS OVER EUROPEAN FILM INDUSTRY!
That’s right! A mind-blowing 100% tariff on films produced abroad is on the table! Details are as fuzzy as a poorly edited movie trailer, but the implications could be devastating! With Hollywood productions like the mega-hits Wicked and House of the Dragon now rolling in from Europe, entire industries in the U.K. and Central Europe could face total annihilation!
Trump claims this shift is “devastating” for Hollywood, asserting that foreign incentives are mere “propaganda” and a “national security threat” to the U.S. But is Hollywood already in freefall?
HOLLYWOOD GLOBALIZATION: ANATHEMA TO TRUMP’S MAGA MESSAGE!
While Trump lashes out, it’s crystal clear: major powerhouses like Disney and Universal are basking in foreign production perks like never before. Brian Cox, the legendary star of Succession, blasted the Trump administration for its ignorance, stating they don’t grasp the nitty-gritty of film-making costs. “It’s a kind of nonsense and divine ignorance on all their parts!” LOUD AND CLEAR!

Hollywood movies are cheaper to make in places like the U.K. and Hungary, leaving us wondering: will American studios be forced into hiding?
The British Film Institute reported a staggering £5.6 billion pumped into production last year—most of that from the U.S. This isn’t just a blip; it’s a seismic shift that could spell disaster if tariffs crush this flourishing partnership.
UNION VOICES RAISED: A CRY FOR SURVIVAL!
The British union representing media workers issued a dire warning that tariffs might deliver a knock-out blow to an industry barely rising from the ashes. Tens of thousands of skilled freelancers could be left out cold!
