Two Captain Americas and a Spider-Man threw punches at each other feet away from the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard in full view of tourists and passers-by. But this was no film shoot, nor even a publicity stunt, but was in fact the result of a long-brewing turf war between freelance impersonators. Superhero turf war: Spanish Captain America impersonator Juan Diego admitted that he was one of the superheroes involved in the scuffle outside the TCL Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard Tensions have been running high among many of of the superheroes who work for tips near the district’s iconic TCL Chinese Theatre. The impersonators are entirely unregulated and there are accusations that some are scaring tourists away with outrageous demands for cash, as well as stepping on the toes of others by invading their turf. Vernardo Stroud, who was working at the nearby Madame Tussaud’s kiosk, told CBS Los Angeles affiliate KCAL9 , how he witnessed the scuffle and felt forced to intervene.

Hollywood leaders OK final Margaritaville deal
City projections indicate Hollywood will receive $1.9 billion from the resort over the span of the 99-year lease. “This is a huge money maker for the city,” said Mayor Peter Bober. City Manager Cathy Swanson-Rivenbark said Wednesday the project has also spurred redevelopment on the beach. Wednesday’s vote is the latest chapter in an endless story of failed dreams for the property, known as the “Casino” after the historic Casino pool built in the 1920s by city found Joseph W. Young. Developers going back to 1997 have tried, and failed, to raise financing for a resort complex. In 2009, Tabatchnick teamed up with Margaritaville resorts.

Hollywood’s Legendary teams with influential state-owned China Film to make big-money flicks
“There can be no doubt that this is one of the most important collaborations for China Film Group in the coming years,” Han said. The partnership will allow the companies to “make films that are more appealing to filmgoers, creating new genres that, through the magic of film, bring greater variety to audiences around the world,” he said. China Film Group is an important player because it essentially controls film imports and co-productions, making it an important gatekeeper for foreign studios. Through its China Film Co., which has plans to go public, it owns stakes in eight movie theater circuits that account for half of the country’s box office receipts. Faced with stagnant box-office growth at home, Hollywood studios are keen to enter China, now the world’s second-biggest film market. Box-office receipts in China totaled $2.7 billion last year, according to the Motion Picture Association of America. That pushed the Chinese market past Japan’s, now the third biggest. For their part, China’s leaders are hoping to use expertise gleaned from joint ventures to rapidly develop their country’s cultural industries to expand their influence abroad. Chinese audiences adore Hollywood fare such as “Avatar” and the “Kung Fu Panda” series.
