The news of the day is that Paramount CEO David Ellison has decided that October 1st will be the date that Paramount/Warner Bros. Discovery begins relocating from California if the lawsuit against their merger can’t be resolved by then. Questions have been raised about the job losses and the sheer costs of Paramount/WBD relocating, including the logistics for replacing the current offerings at their California studio campuses.
The Babs Do Factor
Thankfully, these problems can be alleviated by partnering with Babs Do Studios and our unique “Hollywood 2.0” design and production system. Some of the options can appear like the AI example images below and while some of these states may be mentioned in the lawsuit against the Paramount/WBD merger, they still present many positive business aspects to build up new “Hollywood 2.0” business and industry.
In addition to these options that can be built quickly and economically in months for a fraction of traditional studio pricing, Paramount/WBD would also benefit from first-look offerings for productions made through Babs Do Studios and with in-house projects by Babs Do Productions, making that annual commitment for 30 films a much easier task to follow through on as well as new creative perspectives on existing Paramount/WBD IP!
Studio Examples
Tennessee – Historic music, film, and arts support takes center stage within the heart of Tennessee’s offerings for a Babs Do Studios campus with a great deal of ideal site options not too far from major city areas. Tennessee was also the first state to step up and reach out to Paramount/WBD and give their full support for relocating and is likely to be the top candidate. From tens of acres to hundreds of acres, Babs Do Studios can build quickly to provide a new base of Film & Media infrastructure for Tennessee and to quickly establish a major new home for Paramount/WBD as well as Babs Do Productions!
Nevada – We are campaigning for our Universal Film Tax Credit Bill for the 2027 Legislative Session, while it may make more sense to wait, we have ideas for establishing a Phase 1 development in Las Vegas to expand from after our Universal Bill has passed that can create quite the economic savings for building up a new major studio not too far outside of California!
New Mexico – With a very competitive Film Tax Credit Program in place and a solid base of Film & Media business, combined with Babs Do Studios’ professional workforce training aspects, expanding New Mexico’s production opportunities can benefit Paramount/WBD in a big way year after year!
Georgia – Having the largest Film Tax Credit Program in the country is a pretty good business opportunity as it is and with several options for Babs Do Studios facilities, Georgia can be an ideal location for creating multiple large-scale projects at once!
Louisiana – With several famous cities and locations ripe for production and a key potential ideal Babs Do Studios location ready to build up, Paramount/WBD can have many creative options for production in one of the fastest and most economical state options for Babs Do Studios!
Kentucky – Easy travel with green hills, valleys, mountains, forest, and nearly universally recognizable cityscapes that can double for almost every major city, Kentucky has many options for production, a strong Film Tax Credit Program we hope to build on with a Universal Film Tax Credit Bill adaptation, and plenty of land to build with. We have a very unique strategy planned for “Babs Do Studios – Kentucky” that can benefit not only major studios like Paramount/WBD but also indie filmmakers and the entire state!
New Jersey – Like Kentucky, there are a number of unique options available in New Jersey that could capitalize on new Film & Media infrastructure in the state to support a wide variety of projects. We are familiar with the needs of the Studio Partner program and have a particular spot picked out that hopefully stays available in time.
Texas – The option a lot of people are talking about! We have seen a wide array of options for Texas but the question of location strategy is a much larger question in Texas than anywhere else due to its size. Establishing multiple “Babs Do Studios – Texas” locations, as we had originally planned for Nevada, could be the best option to really let Texas production shine! Also, the array of still in-development and under-construction studios will eventually provide a good selection of overflow options for production down the line.
Conclusion
Overall, Babs Do Studios’ unique design and working production system can be built anywhere, whether it is just for establishing new local industry with Babs Do Productions alone or for providing a new studio home for potentially relocating studios like Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery!
In addition, all of these options can be further enhanced with support for our Universal Film Tax Credit Bill at the state-level and, as David Ellison has shown interest, we also have our Universal Federal Film Tax Credit Bill that can be supported as well to enable nationwide benefits and “Hollywood 2.0” development in any state!
As the industry continues to change just about by the day, Babs Do Studios and our future-proof studios and “Hollywood 2.0” plans still remain the leading way forward for the U.S. Entertainment Industry. Investors should take note that discussions are noting that if Paramount/WBD move from California, other major Hollywood studios could follow! This would mean Tens of Billions of production spending being spread across the country and major studios in need of production infrastructure and quickly. So far, no other developments have presented the universal adaptability, scalability, speed of construction, economical approach, or future-proof aspects of Babs Do Studios! If Paramount/WBD wants to secure a speedy exit from California, they would find a massive opportunity by partnering with Babs Do Studios and investors can benefit greatly by supporting the establishment of a new “Hollywood 2.0” across the United States of America!
