The rules opened the door to american projects — which could include scenes for the next “Fast amp; Furious” movie and an Ethan Hawke film — and to collaboration between Hollywood and the island’s underfunded film sector. 但美国财政部1月26日颁布新规，允许美国人在古巴拍摄有剧本的电影和节目。这是半个世纪以来的第一次。新规为美国的电影项目，也为好莱坞与古巴资金不足的电影产业之间的协作敞开了大门，其中包括下一部《速度与激情》(Fast amp; Furious)和伊桑·霍克(Ethan Hawke)的一部电影。 “The world just got bigger because Cuba has become accessible,” said Matthew Carnahan, creator of “House of Lies.” “因为可以进入古巴，整个世界都变大了，”《谎言屋》的主创马修·卡纳汉(Matthew Carnahan)说。 as a location, Cuba was inspiring, if challenging, he said, but added, “I’m dreaming up reasons to go back.” 卡纳汉称，作为一个取景地，古巴虽然充满挑战，但很能启发灵感。他接着表示，“我正在琢磨理由再去古巴一次。” a stream of american filmmakers needing to hire Cuban equipment and crews would be a boon to the country’s independent production industry, which sprouted in the late 1990s as digital technology made filmmaking more accessible and state money for movies ran dry. 一连串需要租借古巴设备，雇佣古巴剧组人员的美国电影人，可能会让该国的独立制片业受益。古巴的独立电影产业出现于90年代末。当时，数字技术降低了电影制作的门槛，且国家用于电影制作的资金也枯竭了。 Some Cuban filmmakers worry, though, that their government will open its arms to Hollywood while continuing to give its own filmmakers the cold shoulder.
