When Universal Studios built their theme park and movie studio in Florida they planned on making movies and television shows in Florida, Universal in Florida was planned to be a working studio. Sadly not much has been done at the studio in Florida. If I owned Universal Studios then I would make the studio in Florida active, I would be making a lot of movies and television shows in Florida if I owned Universal.
I could also build a studio out in the desert in Lancaster, California, to shoot Westerns and Bible movies, etc, if I owned Universal.
When I worked at Universal my fellow employees kept telling me to buy the studio someday, they saw something in me, and they kept telling me to buy the studio. Back then Universal was owned by the Japanese, and Lew Wasserman was our boss, I used to eat lunch with Lew Wasserman in the cafeteria, he walked up and sat at my table, he was a cool guy, and he used to teach us as we ate, he would talk about what was happening with the studio. And at that time Ron Howard was making the movie "Apollo 13" and I was able to watch them work, it was cool.
Anyhow, Florida is great, and they need to make more movies and television shows at the Universal Studios there.
Salute,
Tony V.
