she will probably be blonde tho, although brunette would slay. It would help the audience disassociate the character from the gaga persona

So does this mean they get to get out of paying $7 million in taxes, and all the movies get massive ones all the time? Must be nice, I don't see citizens getting to do that unless they're filthy rich and work the system

I read somewhere it was $30mil, this is just a tax credit on top of the $22mil budget which makes it $29mil all together or it brings the budget down from 30 to 22 because they don't have to pay the tax? Don't quote me lmao I think that's how it works

Film is a large industry that makes billions for the US economy. Tax credits are used by all major film markets to compete for money from top studios.
