MILWAUKEE – Producer and director Jerry Zucker would love to film a movie in his native Wisconsin, but it’s hard to persuade film production executives to do it when other states are offering tax incentives that help cut costs.
If a proposed law makes its way through the state Legislature, the Shorewood native won’t have to do as much to persuade them.
….A number of Hollywood heavyweights have written letters of support, including director David Koepp, who grew up in Pewaukee, and actors and Wisconsin natives Leslie Nielsen, Jane Kaczmarek and Brad Whitford.
