“Easy Money” shooting in New Mexico
August 19, 2008 | Nevada, industry, media coverage, states | Comments (0)No one got shot. We’re talking about the TV Drama to air on the CW Network this Fall. It’s about a family that owns a payday lending store. The Las Vegas Sun was on the set:
New Mexico started a tax incentive program for the movie business, and it’s working quite well, at least measured by the number of movies and TV shows being shot here. Economists are genearally leery of these programs, which are often just giveaways to big business, who wind up blackmailing everyone for more and more tax breaks. So we’ll see if New Mexico is getting any bang for its buck, and whether Nevada could be doing more. (We certainly do a lot for two industries, but the question is, what can we do to draw others?)
We were on the set of “Easy Money,” whose executive producers were writers on “The Sopranos.” It will be on the CW in the fall. It stars Judge Reinhold. Hey, who remembers the scene in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” when….oh, this is a family newspaper, after all.
