President-elect Donald J. Trump has enlisted actors Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, and Jon Voight as his “eyes and ears” in Hollywood to help revitalize the entertainment industry, which has lost business to foreign countries. Trump aims to bring Hollywood back stronger than ever before, addressing the issue of runaway production where major movies are increasingly filmed in other countries due to cost concerns. The actors, who are all supporters of Trump, will serve as special ambassadors to assist in this effort. Hollywood has also faced challenges with declining international ticket sales, particularly in markets like China.
