Gov. Newsom cites extensive debt in his veto
Paramount Ranch, a frontier western town built as a movie set that appeared in countless movies and TV shows, was decimated by the Woolsey fire in Agoura Hills, Calif., in November 2018.The Woolsey wildfire devastated most of Paramount Ranch's Hollywood heritage in 2018. Human-driven climate change is demanding difficult decisions about what to preserve in the rebuilding process.One of the most famous parts of the Ranch was Western Town.
"You basically walked in and it was ready to shoot," said Amelia Brooke, a Hollywood art director whose credits include."You can focus on the story that you're telling, as opposed to all of the money that you're sinking into the surrounding sets."The Woolsey Fire incinerated most of Western Town's flimsy pastel-colored structures in 2018 along with other older buildings related to the Paramount Pictures production era of the 1920s-40s.
The National Park Service is currently rebuilding parts of Paramount Ranch, with a goal to bring film and TV shoots back to the location by 2025. Earlier this month, construction crews started work at the site. "We're not trying to recreate the 1920s or the 1940s, but one of the best ways to preserve a historic place is to continue doing what was done there historically," said Szymanski."And for us here, that is film."Efforts to conserve historic landmarks have traditionally focused on keeping them close to what they looked like in the past.
"Why are we reconstructing things?," said the Sarasota, Fla.-based architect and historic preservationist, Marty Hylton."Why aren't we focusing on relocating things, or at least documenting them before they're gone?"
