Hollywood in Wisconsin?
A big time movie being made right here in Wisconsin, or even Milwaukee? That's what state lawmakers are hoping will happen when tax breaks go into effect next Tuesday.
Wisconsin's lieutenant governor Barbara Lawton is optimistic the plan will bring cash to the state, saying "What is exciting about this industry is that when they do a film, about half of the production costs stay right in that regional economy."
And already, the town of Baraboo is being looked at as a site for a new Johnny Depp movie set to be filmed in 2008. The flick has an estimated production budget of 100 to 300 million dollars.
State officials believe bringing some Hollywood to the state isn't just good financially, it's also great publicity for Wisconsin too.
