Production began this month in Nashville on the Screen Gems feature film "Love Don’t Let Me Down." The $15 million project stars Oscar-winner Gwyneth Paltrow, country music star Tim McGraw, Leighton Meester ("Gossip Girl") and Garrett Hedlund ("Friday Night Lights").
Perry Gibson, executive director of the Tennessee Film, Entertainment and Music Commission, said, “Having a production of this magnitude in our state will provide a significant number of jobs for our production community and the project’s spending will provide a real boost to the local economy.”
The project is expected to qualify for a 32 percent refund of qualified expenses incurred in the state through a combination of incentives offered by the Film Commission and the Tennessee Department of Revenue. To qualify, at least $1 million must be spent by the production on Tennessee residents and Tennessee vendors. The production company hopes to spend $7-8 million during its stay and budgets must be audited before incentive payments can be released.
