Film production in LA may be in a terminal decline
The remainder of the Fox lot will probably be sold to developers soon, the Paramount lot not far behind. I expect Comcast to buy Warner Bros and consolidate production with Universal (U can turn more of their lot into rides and attractions.)
Los Angeles will only support a small production community who are kept afloat by gigantic tax breaks. All jobs will be union jobs and impossible for outsiders to break into. People who want to get started in production- including actors- will go to Atlanta or Albuquerque instead of Hollywood.

OP, we don't have gigantic tax breaks, and almost all jobs are union jobs. Jobs are leaving Atl and NY as we speak- productions are finding that filming outside the US is less expensive.

What happened to the FOX lot? I worked there for several years as a TV actor..

Fox lot is still owned by Fox but Fox is now merely a broadcasting television company.
This should have been sold ages ago, but I suspect it is being kept for reasons that have to do with the Murdoch succession. This is the most valuable land in America. They can build a dozen high rise luxury condos with views clear to the Pacific.

OP you have been predicting for years that Comcast will buy Warners. Comcast doesn’t want Warners. Move on.
