‘Iron Man’ Director Lobbies Guvernator To Try Yet Again For Hollywood Tax Breaks; If So Marvel May Build $600

Nikki Finke: "Will it happen? Who knows, considering that Schwarzenegger up to now has been more talk than action. He most recently railed against runaway production at a news conference on May 9th -- but that was scheduled only after he received heat during another press conference for fire prevention from reporters annoying him with questions about Ugly Betty leaving Los Angeles for New York to take advantage of an Albany-passed package of fat rebates. (See my previous, Unemployed 'Ugly Betty' Crew Blame Schwarzenegger For Show's NY Move.) Since then, the TV shows Life On Mars, Fringe and Kings have left Los Angeles or Toronto (where the Canadian dollar is suddenly expensive) to move to NYC as well."
