LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – A planned movie studio from Sony Pictures is still “on track,” according to a company spokesperson, as the company makes its presence known at the juggernaut Consumer Electronics Show.
New incoming CEO Ravi Ahuja spoke during CES in a chat with Variety, detailing plans for content development in movies, streaming platforms and YouTube — even highlighting plans for anime development.
“We Have a film studio. We have TV studios. We have direct-to-consumer, and Crunchyroll and we have an ‘experiences’ division, now we have the same things everyone else has. The difference? We do each one uniquely and differently,” Ahuja said.
FOX5 spoke with Ahuja’s predecessor about plans to develop content at the 31-acre Summerlin Studios.
According to a spokesperson via email, “all remains on track – we are looking to the legislative session as next steps.”
The company launched an X page called “Picture This NV” to help the public learn about the project, and an in-depth website with numerous renderings.
The proposed Assembly bill for $100 million in tax credits for Sony Pictures is still being written. Assemblywoman Sandra Jauregui has a draft request for the “Nevada Studio Infrastructure, Jobs and Workforce Training Act.”
A second studio is being proposed by Warner Bros. Discovery, which plans to make Las Vegas its next filming headquarters and hub all in partnership with UNLV, according to University officials.
State Senator Roberta Lange is spearheading the tax credit bill for the Warner Bros. project.
