Cinecittà Studios Back on Track After Luring Mel Gibson and Ridley Scott as Revamp Rolls Onwards
Cinecittà Studios are back on track to full occupancy after luring Mel Gibson and Ridley Scott, as the iconic facilities' revamp proceeds onwards.
Rome’s Cinecittà Studios are filling up once again following a brief hiatus due to the fallout from Hollywood’s writers’ and actors’ strikes combined with a – now fully resolved – spell of uncertainty about the solidity of Italy ’s tax rebate for international productions. As for the Italian rebates, Nicola Borrelli, head of the film department of Italy’s culture ministry, during a recent confab in Cannes, hosted by Variety provided assurances that the incentives for international productions are fully active, following a brief period of uncertainty due to the fact that the government was mulling some modifications. “Cinecittà is becoming a machine that fires on all cylinders every day with a top notch standard of excellence,” the Rome studio chief went on, noting that “the level of services and the quality of our crews and craftsmen are what sets us apart from the competition.”
