@BiffBrown : There is also the fact taht movies can be shot in more than one place. People act as if they are literally shot in a single place all of the time. Also, it seems that one of the main filming places in Atlanta is about to undergo a major renovation. The film fervor in Atlanta and greater Atlanta is very unlikely to slow down significantly.
Captain Marvel was shot in CA and Louisiana with no part being shot in Georgia as far as the news reports are concerned. Marvel also received a huge tax credit from CA; this may have been a one-off sweetheart deal to lure Marvel back to CA. Time will tell.
Are Pinewood’s facilities being renovated/were they being renovated during filming of Captain Marvel?
@BiffBrown : I know nothing about Captain Marvel, but those are not the only movies that exist. There is a lot of stuff filmed: Movies, TV shows, etc. A surprising amount in Georgia (pre-dominantly metro Atlanta). Again, it likely will not slow. There is no need to use a single movie/series, or w/e as a proxy for the whole scene. That is akin to saying, “Atlanta is screwed if it doesn’t get Amazon”…wrong. Atlanta likely needs it much less than other contenders. Its economy is very strong is growing fast in areas that were much less relevant in Atlanta before the recession. I need not talk about how well midtown is doing now-a-days and all the activity geared towards enhancing downtown. Atlanta is looking like some Cinderella story of metros now-a-days.
I don’t think it is Pinewood:https://atlanta.curbed.com/atlanta-development/2018/9/17/17869136/pullman-yard-project-ponce-city-market-adaptive-reuse
This article also hints at the fact that there is a lot of investment in the area from even LA producers It would be nice if Atlanta had its own true scene and it does when it comes to black film making naturally. The term Black Hollywood exists for a reason. In general, It is kind of like with start-ups. If you can start fueling your own scene locally to the point where you don’t need funds from Silicon Valley as much, you are really making movement. It is kind of why I don’t like when certain metros tout how much funding their area gets from Silicon Valley with regards to start-ups. The long-term goal should be to become a self-sufficient hub that is respectable and has its own funding sources. Atlanta is working on that with regard to start-ups and I’d like to see it happen with regards to the film industry, though I don’t really want Atlanta becoming like LA, though Atlanta’s increased visibility has mostly been a good thing for the area.
Either way, a lot of stuff is going on.
