"Fast Five," the latest installment of the “Fast & Furious” movie franchise, which was filmed almost entirely in Puerto Rico last year, raced into theaters last weekend, becoming Hollywood’s best performing film of 2011, with $86.2 million at the box office during its debut.
The island’s allure for the glamour and glitz of Hollywood got a new boost Friday when Gov. Luis Fortuño — accompanied by performers Marc Anthony and Jennifer López — signed the new Puerto Rico Film Industry Economic Incentives Law that grants a slew of benefits to movie producers.
