7 May - The British Film Commission (BFC) recently revealed that it is planning to hold talks with ministers following US President Donald Trump's shocking tariff plans on movies produced outside the United States.

Adrian Wootton, who is the chief executive of the BFC, said, "While this announcement is clearly concerning, we need to understand the detail surrounding the proposed tariffs. We will be meeting with government and our industry policy group in the coming days to discuss further."

"The UK and U.S. have long enjoyed a strong, shared history of film-making, recently celebrating 100 years of creative collaboration and production. We look forward to continuing that for years to come, to our mutual benefit," he added.

It is noted that the US President has not elaborated on the details of his plans of a 100 percent tariff when he expressed his thoughts about it on his social media platform, Truth Social.

However, the UK would be one of the most vulnerable countries if such a plan is executed, seeing that it is one of Hollywood's top picks for overseas shoot what with its tax incentives, skilled workforce and the benefit of sharing the same language. Warner Bros. itself has a studio complex in Leavesden in the East of England where many of its movies were and are being filmed.
