“A production company like Netflix does not take orders from heads of state or make decisions based on political pressure,” Roberto Gualtieri said after French President Emmanuel Macron vowed to “fight” to get Season 5 back in Paris.
It turns out that Lily Collins’ title character in “Emily in Paris” may have just caused an international incident.
The Mayor of Rome has weighed in on the location switch for Season 5 of the hit Netflix series. The Season 4 finale saw Emily (Lily Collins) relocating to Rome; French President Emmanuel Macron later issued a statement vowing to bring the production back to France for its sixth season.
“Doesn’t President Macron have more pressing matters to worry about?” Roman Mayor Roberto Gualtieri told The Hollywood Reporter Roma. “I would like to believe, at least I would like to hope, that Macron was joking, because he ought to know that a production company like Netflix does not take orders from heads of state or make decisions based on political pressure.”
Gualtieri added, “You really cannot intimidate or interfere with Netflix production plans for the next season of ‘Emily in Paris.’ It is just not done.”
And that’s not all Gualtieri had to say to Macron…
“There are perhaps a few more pressing issues for the French president,” he said. “For example, there a couple of wars going on in Ukraine and in the Middle East, there is a horrible hurricane that hit America and which is linked to climate change, and a few other matters of state in Europe for Macron that are more important than Emily, I imagine.”
Well, is anything really more important than the so-bad-it’s-good series “Emily in Paris”?
Clearly its power is such that “Emily in Paris” is even causing an international rife.
“We see Emily’s move to Rome as a confirmation that our city is becoming more and more important, and we are quite relaxed about Netflix production decisions,” Gualtieri said. “They know what they are doing. To be honest, we think Mr. Macron should just relax.”
Gualtieri also tweeted, “Take it easy, Emmanuel Macron. Emily in Rome is perfect.”
The Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, added to THR that she “chuckled about Macron” with Gualtieri.
“We laughed together,” she said. “I love Rome, and we are both exclusive cities.”
If there’s no bad blood between Rome and Paris, it seems it’s time for Macron to go head-to-head with Italian President Sergio Mattarella.
