Taylor Sheridan has built the most impressive television empire ever at Paramount over the last few years. His work first started with

Yellowstone, the hit neo-Western starring Kevin Costner, and it has expanded over the years with other series like Landman, Tulsa King,

and more. The Yellowstone creator is famous for carving out his own path, and resisting studio interference. He likes doing things his way,

 

 

and he doesn’t want to be told what to do. His production studio, SGS Studios, recently teamed up with Paramount to construct a 450,000 square foot production campus in Fort Worth, and the state of Texas even invested $1.5 billion to get the ball rolling.

While this is certainly exciting for Sheridan and his large fan base, it has other corners of Hollywood more concerned than enthusiastic. Paul Ardoin, director of the film and media program at the University of Texas at San Antonio, called this movie a “threat” to the

 

 

moviemaking business in Hollywood. “The shift is real,” he said, “and the threat to Hollywood is real. Austin, Texas is increasingly a hotbed for celebrities and filmmakers formerly of Hollywood, and the state has recently drastically increased its own incentive program to continue to spur that growth.”

Just last week, U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that he has plans to place a 100% tariff on all movies made outside of America.

 

 

Trump first revealed these plans in May earlier this year, but he’s seemingly ready to act on them after moving on from the Jimmy Kimmel controversy. No plans have been announced as to how the White House would enact a rule like this. However, with the sheer number of blockbusters that are produced in other countries, this could shake Hollywood to its core like nothing ever has before.
