US Edition'Simpsons Movie 2,' 'Phineas and Ferb,' Among 38 Movies to Be Filmed in San Diego, Across CA
The sequel is among 38 projects approved under an expanded incentive program that now includes animated features, with nearly $193.5 million in credits statewide.
- The California Film Commission awarded $21.9 million to Twentieth Century Studios' The Simpsons Movie sequel on Thursday, marking one of the first animated features to receive state tax credits under the expanded program.
- Last year, Governor Gavin Newsom expanded the state's incentive program to $750 million annually, specifically opening eligibility to animated projects that previously could not qualify for tax credits.
- Alongside The Simpsons Movie, the CFC allocated credits to 38 projects, including an Untitled Paramount Crime Thriller receiving $25.9 million and an Untitled DreamWorks Animation Feature Film receiving $24.7 million.
- Projections indicate these animated productions will deliver $144 million in qualified expenditures throughout California while creating jobs and supporting local businesses across the state.
- California officials view these incentives as a tool to counter 'runaway production,' as countries like Ireland and Canada have recently lured projects away from the U.S. with similar tax benefits.
