    Sweden does the opposite.

    The reason why there’s always a Swedish actor in Nordic films is that the Swedish Film Institute gives funding to movies with Swedish actors.

    It’s such a silly trope by now, but at least it’s the sane and successful way of doing it.

    Adding a “tariff” will only result in more CGI slob. What if someone makes a movie with a story happening in Italy entirely by CGI? Would it be tariffed, and if so, what if the Italy location is actually in a galaxy far far away?

      It may be slob, but it will be American Slob

        Yeah they do.

        So does Hollywood.

        Minecraft would have been better with a no-name actor as Steve. It would still suck, but at least it wouldn’t also be a Jack Black movie.

        Don’t get me wrong, I like Jack Black; He plays an excellent role as Jack Black in movies where Jack Black does Jack Black things like the famous Jack Black falsetto, which is funny.

        He’s no Steve, though. Steve is an anonymous character and very much not a famous celebrity. Any random person off the street would have been a better cast.
