Fallout' producer lauds tax breaks for luring show to Hollywood

“Fallout” executive producer Jonathan Nolan praised California’s tax incentives for attracting the production to Hollywood, during an event at a soundstage in Santa Clarita. Nolan said the state’s $25 million in tax rebates helped move the series’ second season from New York to California, after it was adapted from a video game set in a post-nuclear wasteland. He also backed legislation that led to $750 million in tax rebates to bring more film and television work to the state, inviting lawmakers on set to show how productions benefit local jobs. For the third season, “Fallout” stayed in California due to $42 million in tax credits on a $166.3 million budget, enabling hiring nearly 600 crew members and 30 actors, according to the California Film Commission. Nolan contrasted this with industry travel to cities such as London, Budapest, and Sydney.
