Editorial: State follows script with Cyrus film
Friday, June 12, 2009
The pampered movie star storms into the producer’s office with a flurry of complaints: Her dressing room is too small, the champagne is never chilled to the right temperature, the director is impossible to work with, and her leading man has a better hairstylist.
“There, there,” the indulgent producer assures her. “I’ll fix everything.”
The N.C. Commerce Department, in contrast, didn’t “fix everything” when Walt Disney Pictures asked for incentives to film a movie starring teenage sensation Miley Cyrus in Wilmington. Playing North Carolina against Georgia, Disney eventually chose Savannah just to save maybe a couple of hundred thousand dollars.
Details of negotiations made public recently show that the director of North Carolina’s Film Office and other Commerce officials worked hard to meet Disney’s demands. They failed in the end because state law allows a lower payback on a movie company’s investment than Georgia grants.
This has led to regrets in Raleigh and apparently something approaching hysteria in Wilmington. The director of the regional film commission there told The News and Observer of Raleigh that the city now can expect to lose Disney business forever.
Nonsense. Wilmington has proven to be a great location for many television and movie projects — all of which managed to live with North Carolina’s incentives policies. Making an exception for Disney this time only would have created more difficulty in landing the next production.
Filming “The Last Song” in Wilmington might have created 500 temporary jobs and infused $8 million into the city’s economy. The presence of Miss Cyrus would have excited the local teen or preteen population. It all would have been grand.
But it’s possible to bend only so far and still maintain respectability. North Carolina offered champagne. If it wasn’t chilled enough, too bad.

Well could be true about Disney making demands... but Miley having champagne and THE STATE of NC offering it to her.... hrmmm dont they know shes 16 FFS! lol. bye.
