Hollywood in Utah

Hoping to lure big-budget films to Utah, Governor Huntsman signed the film incentive bill on Monday (along with about 3 dozen other bills).

"Jason Perry, director of the Governor's Office of Economic Development, said the state's film incentive lagged behind its neighbors and, because of a $500,000 cap in place, big-budget films that expressed interest in the state -- like Transformers or G.I. Joe -- wouldn't shoot here. And there hasn't been a television series filming in the state since 2006."
