The Quote

I am in a lovely American high school and the flashbacks are overwhelming, which I guess is a good sign for the movie?

 Q5’s Take

Better get your fill of Hollywood in North Carolina. NC is reining in its film tax incentives, and replacing them with a much smaller grant program: $10 million in help vs. $60ish million in the past. Oh, how we loved Homeland sightings around town.
